2026 Forest River Spirit Travel Trailers Recalled for Incorrect Safety Chains

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 12 of its 2026 Spirit travel trailers because the safety chains installed may not be strong enough to handle the vehicle's weight rating. If these chains do not meet the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the trailer's placard, they can fail while the trailer is being towed. Dealers will replace the safety chains free of charge to ensure they are appropriate for the trailer's weight.

Risk

If the safety chains fail, the trailer could separate from the towing vehicle while in motion, which significantly increases the risk of a crash on the road.

What You Should Do

  1. This recall affects 12 units of the 2026 Forest River Spirit travel trailer where the installed safety chains may not meet the vehicle's actual weight rating.
  2. Since Forest River reports that all affected vehicles are currently in dealer inventory, owners should confirm with their dealer if a Spirit trailer they are purchasing or have recently purchased has had this safety chain replacement completed.
  3. Contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8519 or visit an authorized dealer to have the safety chains replaced free of charge. Reference Forest River recall number 220-1941.
  4. For additional information, you may call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
