What's wrong?
The independent suspension on the 2022-2024 Forest River No Boundaries, Ibex, and R-Pod trailers supports each wheel separately instead of tying both sides together with a single axle. The mounting hardware is the set of fasteners that clamps that suspension assembly to the trailer chassis. Those fasteners have to be tightened to the supplier's specification so the suspension stays fixed while the trailer is loaded and moving.
On affected trailers, Forest River traced the defect to a manufacturing error. The fasteners for the independent suspension were left loose or missing because they were not torqued during installation. Road vibration and trailer load can let loose mounting hardware back out further. If the hardware lets go, the independent suspension can detach from the chassis.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a noise, a visible lean, or odd tire movement before checking whether the trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?
A detached independent suspension increases crash risk. Schedule the fastener inspection before your next trip, and avoid towing until the dealer checks whether the fasteners need replacement or securing. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2024 Forest River No Boundaries, Ibex, or R-Pod trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free suspension-fastener inspection and repair.
- Ask the dealer to inspect the independent suspension fasteners and replace or secure them so the suspension stays attached.
- Bring the recall notice if Forest River mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V029 when you call.
- Limit trailer use until the repair is complete, because loose independent suspension fasteners can let the suspension detach.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician inspects the independent suspension fasteners and replaces or secures any fasteners that need correction. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If you already paid for a repair within the scope of this defect, Forest River still wants the trailer inspected under the recall so the correct parts and procedures are confirmed. Forest River offers refunds for qualifying prior repairs. Submit the service invoice to Forest River's warranty manager for review.
