Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 100 of its 2024 Cardinal and Wildcat Fifth Wheel trailers because the hitch pin box may separate from the vehicle during travel. This issue occurs if an operator uses the rear towing hitch without first locking the turning point fifth wheel hitch into the required 'Conventional Transport' position. Owners can take their trailer to a dealer to have free warning labels installed on the hitch and the rear wall of the vehicle to ensure safe operation.
If the trailer is towed while the hitch is in the incorrect position, the upper front structure of the trailer can break. This can cause the pin box to completely separate from the vehicle while in motion, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
