Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 120 recreational vehicles, including 2025 Nightfall travel trailers and 2025 XLR Toy Hauler fifth wheel trailers. The breakaway switch on these trailers may be incorrectly wired, which could prevent the trailer brakes from activating if the trailer becomes detached from the towing vehicle during an emergency. Forest River dealers will rewire the breakaway switch at no cost to owners.

Risk

If the breakaway switch is wired incorrectly, it will fail to activate the trailer brakes if the vehicle becomes disconnected while towing, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
