Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 32 of its 2023 Forest River Pause travel trailers. The awnings on these vehicles may not have been properly secured during manufacturing, which can lead to the entire awning assembly detaching from the vehicle. Forest River is providing a free repair through its dealer network to resolve this safety issue.

Risk

If the awning is not adequately secured, it can detach from the roof while the vehicle is in motion or stationary, creating a road hazard that increases the risk of a crash or striking bystanders.
