Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 126 of its 2025-2026 Wildwood and Salem travel trailer recreational trailers. The exterior transit latch on the rear patio door is designed in a way that it cannot be unlocked from inside the vehicle once engaged. To fix this safety defect, dealers will remove the exterior transit latch entirely, free of charge.
A door that stays locked from the outside can prevent or delay people from escaping the trailer during an emergency, such as a fire, which significantly increases the risk of injury.
