What's wrong?
The breakaway switch on a 2024 Forest River Aurora travel trailer is a safety switch tied into the trailer's 12V wiring. A cable connects the switch to the tow vehicle. If the trailer separates, the cable pulls the switch pin, and the switch sends battery power to the trailer brakes.
On affected Aurora trailers, the breakaway switch wire was connected incorrectly during manufacturing. The wire was not hooked to the constant battery power side of the battery disconnect switch. That wiring error leaves the switch unable to activate the trailer brakes after the trailer detaches from the tow vehicle.
There is no warning sign before failure. The trailer can tow normally because this circuit is only tested when the breakaway switch needs battery power after separation.

What's the safety risk?
A breakaway switch failure increases the risk of a crash because the trailer safety brake system does not work as intended. There is no warning sign before failure. Do not ignore this recall, and schedule the rewiring repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Forest River Aurora is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free breakaway-switch rewiring that lets the switch activate if the trailer detaches.
- Bring the recall notice if Forest River mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V325 when you call.
- Avoid towing the trailer until the breakaway-switch rewiring is complete when you have another option.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician rewires the breakaway switch so it activates correctly if the trailer separates from the tow vehicle. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Forest River also says owners who already paid for a repair within the scope of this defect can request a refund. Send the service invoice to the Cherokee Oregon Forest River warranty manager at the address listed in the recall instructions, and still have the recall inspection or repair completed.
