Forest River, Inc.: Salem and Wildwood Travel Trailers Recalled for Missing Emergency Exit

Agency Publication Date: June 28, 2024

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 573 travel trailers from the 2024-2025 Salem and Wildwood model lines because they may have been manufactured without a secondary emergency exit window. Without this secondary exit, passengers may be unable to quickly leave the trailer during an emergency, such as a fire or crash. Owners of these specific trailers should contact a Forest River dealer to have a new emergency exit window installed at no cost.

Risk

If a primary exit is blocked during an emergency, the absence of a secondary exit window prevents occupants from escaping the vehicle, which significantly increases the risk of serious injury or death.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle registration or purchase documents to see if you own a 2024-2025 Forest River Salem or Wildwood travel trailer.
  2. Contact Forest River customer service at 574-534-3167 and mention recall number 72-1805 to determine if your specific unit is affected by this safety recall.
  3. If your vehicle is affected, schedule an appointment with an authorized Forest River dealer to have a secondary emergency exit window installed free of charge.
  4. For additional information, you can 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.
