Forest River, Inc.: Aurora ART26BHS Travel Trailers Recalled for Faulty Breakaway Switch Wiring

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 3 model year 2024 Aurora ART26BHS travel trailers because the breakaway switch may be wired incorrectly. This safety device is designed to automatically apply the trailer's brakes if it becomes detached from the towing vehicle while driving. If the switch fails to activate during a detachment, the trailer could continue moving independently, significantly increasing the risk of a serious crash.

Risk

The incorrect wiring prevents the emergency breakaway switch from functioning. If the trailer disconnects from the tow vehicle, the trailer brakes will not engage, allowing the unattached trailer to roll freely into traffic or off the road.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you own a 2024 Forest River Aurora ART26BHS travel trailer.
  2. Contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-541-995-3447 to confirm if your specific unit is affected by recall number 64-1776.
  3. Schedule an appointment with an authorized Forest River dealer to have the breakaway switch rewired free of charge.
  4. Contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for additional information regarding recall 24V325.
