Forest River, Inc. is recalling 12 units of the 2023 Forest River Pause Travel trailers because the breakaway switch may be incorrectly wired. This wiring error can prevent the trailer's battery from charging, which leaves the breakaway switch without power. If the trailer becomes detached from the towing vehicle while in motion, the emergency brakes will not activate without this power.
A breakaway switch without power will fail to engage the trailer's brakes if it disconnects from the tow vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of a high-speed crash or property damage. No injuries have been reported, but the defect directly compromises a critical safety backup system.
