What this recall means for you
Certain 2023 East to West travel trailers have a drawbar assembly, which includes the A-frame and safety chains, that may not be strong enough for the trailer's gross vehicle weight rating. The drawbar could break.
If the drawbar or safety chains fail, the trailer can detach from the tow vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should stop towing the trailer until the drawbar has been checked or replaced.
Dealers will replace the drawbar assembly free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 6, 2023. You can contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-264-6664, and check your VIN for any open recalls.
