Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 2,379 Riverstone fifth wheel trailers from model years 2018 through 2026. The steel hydraulic brake lines on these vehicles can fail and leak brake fluid, which can lead to a sudden loss of trailer braking power. Dealers will inspect and replace the brake lines for free to ensure the system functions safely.

Risk

A brake fluid leak results in a loss of braking function, which significantly increases the risk of a crash because the trailer will not be able to slow or stop as intended.
