What's wrong?
The 7-way harness on the 2024-2026 East To West Entrada is the wiring connector between the motorhome and a towed trailer. When you tow a trailer with electric brakes, that harness carries the brake signal and other electrical connections between the RV and the trailer. The trailer brakes depend on that signal arriving on the correct circuit.
On included Entrada RVs, the 7-way harness was wired incorrectly. When the motorhome brakes are applied, the wiring sends the wrong electrical input to the trailer brake circuit. Instead of applying the trailer brakes in a controlled way, the trailer brakes can lock up behind the RV. The repair removes the unused power wire from service and caps it, which stops that incorrect feed.
The warning sign is aggressive braking from a towed trailer with electric brakes when you press the motorhome brake pedal. If the trailer feels like it is grabbing or stopping harder than expected, that is the symptom Forest River identified.

What's the safety risk?
Trailer brake lockup increases the risk of a crash because the towed trailer can brake too aggressively when the motorhome brakes are applied. A warning sign is aggressive braking from a trailer with electric brakes. Drive cautiously, stop towing if braking feels abnormal, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised East To West dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an East To West technician corrects the wiring by disconnecting the power wire, capping it, and marking it as a tracer wire. Parts and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for a related wiring or trailer brake repair before the recall notice, Forest River's general reimbursement plan on file covers documented expenses. Bring receipts or repair paperwork to the service desk when you ask about reimbursement.
