What's wrong?
The trailer brake controller on 2022-2023 Forest River Rockport work trucks is the electrical control that sends braking commands to a connected trailer. When it is wired correctly, it helps the trailer brakes apply in step with the truck, so the trailer slows with the vehicle instead of pushing behind it.
In NHTSA campaign 23V341, the problem is the brake control wiring. Forest River traced the issue to the manufacturing plant, where the trailer brake controller was wired incorrectly on affected trucks. With the wiring in the wrong configuration, the controller does not send the right braking input to the trailer. The repair is to wire the brake controller correctly.
An operator can notice the trailer not stopping or braking as expected. That is the warning sign before failure, especially when the trailer feels like it is not helping slow the truck.
