Forest River on certain motorhome chassis built with a heavier, adjustable foot pedal, the brake activation signal to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the motorhome service brakes are released.
The short version
Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the service brakes, electric. Here is what owners need to know.
On certain motorhome chassis built with a heavier, adjustable foot pedal, the brake activation signal to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the motorhome service brakes are released.
If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged. As a result, the brakes could drag and overheat potentially resulting in a fire.
Forest River will notify owners, and DTNA dealers will modify the affected brake assemblies, free of charge.
