Forest River, Inc. recall 20V380000
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling 2016 Amera-Lite Cargo Van trailers, model ALD612SA. The thickness of the steel tubes used to manufacture the trailer's drawbars may be insufficient for the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
What can happen
The drawbars can fracture and fail during operation, potentially resulting in a loss of control or the trailer detaching from the tow vehicle. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.
Repair
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a double hollow tube to both drawbars, free of charge. This recall began July 28, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-848-1335. Forest River's number for this recall is 24-1191.
