Forest River forest River, Inc.
The short version
Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the trailer hitches. Here is what owners need to know.
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).
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.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a double hollow tube to both drawbars, free of charge.
