Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 7 of its 2026 Flagstaff and Rockwood recreational trailers because the breakaway switch was wired incorrectly. The switch was connected to the wrong side of the battery disconnect switch, which causes the safety feature to be inoperative. Dealers will rewire the breakaway switch free of charge to ensure it functions correctly.
A breakaway switch is designed to automatically engage the trailer's brakes if it becomes detached from the towing vehicle. If the switch is inoperative, the trailer may not stop during a separation event, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
Free rewiring of the breakaway switch by a dealer.
