Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 1,367 model year 2025 Salem and Wildwood travel trailers. The side entry gate latch on these trailers can become unlocked while the vehicle is in motion, allowing a gas strut to push the gate open during transit. To fix this, dealers will remove the strut and install a new warning label and a tethered safety pin at no cost to owners.

Risk

An open gate can strike other vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists on the road, significantly increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
