NHTSA Campaign 20V317000

TRAILER HITCHES

Issued by Forest River, Inc. · Reported May 29, 2020 · 122 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Haulin, US Cargo, and US Cargo Trail N Sport cargo trailers. The safety chains are insufficient for the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and may break if the trailer comes unhitched.

Consequence

If the trailer becomes unhitched from the tow-vehicle, the safety chains may break, leading to complete detachment and potential property damage, personal injury or a crash.

Remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and a dealer or service center will replace the safety chains, free of charge. The recall began June 15, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-848-1335. Forest River's number for this recall is 24-1167.
