2026 Forest River Spirit: Equipment recall

NHTSA campaign 25V423000 · 12 units potentially affected · filed Jun 20, 2025

What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2026 Spirit travel trailers. The installed safety chains may not meet the actual Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the Federal Placard. This can cause the chains to fail, allowing the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.

Why it matters

Separation of the trailer and tow vehicle increases the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace the safety chains, free of charge. All vehicles are still in dealer inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8519. Forest River's number for this recall is 220-1941.
