What's wrong?
The side marker lamps on the 2024-2025 Forest River Clipper Camping Trailer and Viking trailers are supposed to help other drivers see the trailer from the side. The amber and red lamps also need reflective markings or reflectors, so headlights from another vehicle return light back toward that driver.
On the recalled trailers, the side marker lamps installed at the factory lacked the proper markings to show that they provide the required reflectivity. Forest River traced the problem to a manufacturing error. The lamps still sit on the trailer body, but the trailer does not meet the required lighting and reflective-equipment standard because other drivers have less help seeing its outline.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner will not hear a noise, feel a handling change, or see a dashboard alert; the problem is the missing compliant reflector function, and the fix is to install secondary amber and red reflectors beneath the lamps.
Who's affected?
Covers both Clipper Camping Trailer and Viking products across the 2024 and 2025 model years; all share the same reflector-related exterior lighting scope.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Insufficiently reflective side marker lights make the trailer harder for other drivers to see and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before another driver misses the trailer's outline, so use extra caution in traffic, at night, and in low visibility until the reflector stickers are installed. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024-2025 Forest River Clipper Camping Trailer or Viking is included in this recall.
- Contact a Forest River dealer to schedule the free side-marker-light reflector-sticker installation that restores the intended reflector function.
- Bring the recall notice if Forest River has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V722 and Forest River recall 121-1845 when you call.
- Use extra caution if towing before repair because the side marker lights are not reflective enough for other drivers to see the trailer clearly.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician installs reflector stickers to the side marker lights so the trailer lights reflect as intended. Parts and labor are free under recall 24V722. If you already paid for a repair for this same defect, the trailer still needs the recall inspection or repair so Forest River can confirm the correct parts and procedure were used. To request reimbursement, submit the service invoice to Viking RV, Attn: Warranty Manager, at the address listed in the recall notice.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 24V722?
Recall 24V722 covers 331 2024-2025 Forest River Clipper Camping Trailer and Viking travel trailers with side marker lights that do not reflect enough light. That reduced visibility can make the trailer harder for other drivers to see and raise crash risk. Forest River dealers will install reflector stickers for free.
What should I do if my 2024-2025 Forest River Clipper Camping Trailer or Viking is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 24V722. If it is, contact a franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the reflector sticker installation. Reference recall number 24V722 and Forest River recall number 121-1845 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to fix the defect at no cost, and Forest River's remedy says dealers will install reflector stickers to the lights free of charge. Parts and labor are covered at a franchised Forest River dealer.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced trailer visibility. If the side marker lights do not reflect light as intended, other drivers have less visual warning that the trailer is nearby. That visibility problem raises the risk of a crash, especially when another driver needs to judge the trailer's position.
