NHTSA campaign 23V201000 · 12 units potentially affected · filed Mar 24, 2023
What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023 Forest River Pause Travel trailers. The breakaway switch may be incorrectly wired and cause the battery to not charge, resulting in no power to the breakaway switch.
Why it matters
A breakaway switch that does not have power will not activate the trailer brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will rewire the breakaway switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 3, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-327-2681. Forest River's number for this recall is 426-1613.
