Forest River, Inc.: Rockport Work Trucks Recalled for Falling Rear Liftgate

Agency Publication Date: May 3, 2024

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 54 Rockport Work Trucks from model years 2011, 2016-2019, and 2021-2024 because the rear liftgate may have been installed incorrectly. Specifically, some liftgates were installed without required U-bolts on the driver and passenger sides, which can cause the liftgate to suddenly fall to the ground while it is being loaded. Authorized dealers will inspect the liftgate and install or replace the necessary U-bolts free of charge.

Risk

If the U-bolts are missing, the liftgate lacks the structural support needed to stay attached while under a load. This can cause the heavy metal liftgate to collapse or fall unexpectedly, which poses a serious risk of injury to anyone standing on or near the platform.

  1. Identify if you own a 2011, 2016-2019, or 2021-2024 Forest River Rockport Work Truck.
