What this recall means for you
Some 2024 fifth wheel trailers may be missing a secondary emergency exit window. Without it, people inside may be unable to get out quickly, or at all, during an emergency, which raises the risk of injury.
The recall covers certain affected vehicles. All vehicles involved are still in dealer inventory, so no owner notification letters will be mailed. If you own or are considering a 2024 model in this line, check with your dealer or confirm your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
Authorized dealers will install an emergency exit window at no cost. You can also contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-534-3167 and reference recall number 51-1683.
