What's wrong?
On 2020-2023 Palomino Solaire travel trailers, the freshwater tank stores clean water for the trailer's plumbing system. The tank sits inside the chassis, and cross members act as supports that keep it held in place while the trailer moves, turns, and bounces over the road.
In this recall, the forward and rearward supports for the tank were not installed on certain trailers. Without those supports, the tank is not fully restrained in its in-chassis mounting area. Road vibration and the weight of the water can let the tank shift until it becomes dislodged from where it belongs.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should not expect a dashboard light, sound, or visible clue before the tank moves. After the tank shifts, you can see a sagging tank, plumbing damage, or water leaking from the underside of the trailer.

What's the safety risk?
If the freshwater tank dislodges, it can fall to the ground while the trailer is in transit and become a road hazard, increasing crash risk. There is no warning sign before failure. Schedule the repair soon and use caution while towing until it is complete. Repair is free at any franchised Palomino dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2023 Palomino Solaire is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Palomino dealer to schedule the free freshwater-tank support installation that keeps the tank secured in transit.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 23V141 when you call.
- Avoid towing the trailer until the repair is complete if the freshwater tank is not secured.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Palomino technician installs rearward and forward supports for the freshwater tank so the tank is properly secured. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If you already paid for a repair tied to this freshwater tank support defect, the trailer still needs the recall inspection or repair so Palomino can confirm the correct parts and procedures were used. For reimbursement, send the service invoice to Palomino Forest River, Attn: Warranty Manager, 1047 E M-86, Colon, MI 49040-0802.
