Forest River, Inc.: 2023 East to West Della Terra and Silver Lake Trailers Recalled for Broken Chains

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 98 of its 2023 East to West Della Terra and Silver Lake travel trailers because the safety chains and drawbar assembly may be too weak for the vehicle's weight. If the drawbar assembly fails, the safety chains can break, causing the trailer to detach from the towing vehicle while in motion. Forest River dealers will replace the entire drawbar assembly for free to ensure the trailer remains securely attached during transport.

Risk

The drawbar assembly and safety chains may break under the weight of the trailer, allowing it to fully detach from the towing vehicle. This separation creates an immediate hazard on the road and significantly increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle records or identification plates to determine if you own a 2023 East to West Della Terra or Silver Lake travel trailer.
  2. Contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-264-6664 to verify if your specific trailer is affected; please reference Forest River's recall number 508-1617.
  3. If your trailer is included in the recall, schedule an appointment with an authorized Forest River dealer to have the drawbar assembly replaced at no cost to you.
  4. For additional information or to report a safety concern, 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.
