Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 173 of its 2026 Westbrook and Avenger travel trailers because the Federal Placard label may list an incorrect dry weight. This error means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for tire selection and rims. Owners can take their trailers to an authorized dealer to have the incorrect label replaced with an accurate one free of charge.

If the label shows an incorrect weight, owners may unknowingly overload the trailer with cargo. Overloading the vehicle can lead to tire failure or loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
