Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 63 units of its 2022-2023 Rockport work trucks because the trailer brake controller may have been incorrectly wired during manufacturing. This defect can lead to a complete loss of trailer braking function while the vehicle is in motion. To fix this issue, dealers will rewire the trailer brake controller at no cost to owners.

Risk

An incorrectly wired brake controller can cause the trailer brakes to fail to engage. If the trailer brakes do not function, the stopping distance of the vehicle and trailer combination increases significantly, which raises the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking if it is a 2022-2023 Forest River Rockport work truck.
  2. Contact a Forest River dealer to schedule a free appointment to have the trailer brake controller rewired.
  3. You may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-327-2392 and refer to recall number 29-1639.
  4. For additional information, 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.
