Forest River, Inc.

TRAILER HITCHES

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling 2016 Amera-Lite Cargo Van trailers, model ALD612SA. The thickness of the steel tubes used to manufacture the trailer's drawbars may be insufficient for the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).

Risk: The drawbars can fracture and fail during operation, potentially resulting in a loss of control or the trailer detaching from the tow vehicle. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a double hollow tube to both drawbars, free of charge. This recall began July 28, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-848-1335. Forest River's number for this recall is 24-1191. The repair is free at any franchised dealer of your brand.
