Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 34 of its 2024-2025 Cross Trail motorhomes because the exterior ladder may have been installed incorrectly. The ladder receiver was mounted without a necessary backer, which can cause the ladder to pull away from the vehicle during use. Dealers will inspect and relocate the ladder to a secure position at no cost to owners.

Risk

If the ladder detaches while a person is climbing it, the user could fall, leading to a serious risk of injury.
