Forest River is recalling 250 2010-2011 Work And Play travel and fifth wheel trailers because the emergency egress window can stick or require more than 20 pounds of pressure to open.

What's wrong?
The egress window on a 2010-2011 Forest River Work And Play trailer is the emergency exit window built into the living area. It is supposed to open quickly from inside the trailer so occupants have another way out when the main door is blocked.
On affected travel and fifth wheel trailers, that window can stick or take more than 20 pounds of pressure to open. That means the latch or window assembly does not release with normal emergency-exit force. The filing does not identify a separate root cause, so the practical defect is the window itself failing to open freely when it is needed.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner can learn about the problem only by checking whether the window opens with normal hand pressure, or by having a Forest River dealer inspect it under recall 10V325.

What's the safety risk?
In an emergency, an egress window that is hard to open can delay or prevent an occupant from getting out, increasing the risk of personal injury. Confirm with your VIN and keep the window area accessible until the recall repair is handled. Repair will be free at any franchised Forest River dealer once available.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician checks the Work And Play trailer's egress window and makes the repairs needed so the emergency exit opens properly. The remedy filing does not name a specific replacement part. It states that dealers will make the necessary repairs free of charge. Because the current remedy status is not listed in this input, confirm repair availability with a Forest River dealer or Work and Play customer service before bringing the trailer in.
