Forest River, Inc.: East to West Alta Travel Trailers Recalled for Non-Reflective Side Marker Lights

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 2,707 of its 2022-2023 East to West Alta travel trailers. The side marker lights on these trailers may not reflect light as required by federal safety standards, making the vehicle harder for other drivers to see. Dealers will resolve this issue by installing reflective stickers on the affected trailers at no cost to the owner.

Risk

If the side marker lights do not reflect light properly, the trailer's visibility is significantly reduced for other drivers, especially at night or in low-light conditions, which increases the risk of a vehicle crash.

  2. Locate the manufacturer's recall number for this specific issue, which is 501-1571.
  3. Contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-264-6664 to schedule a free appointment with an authorized dealer.
  4. Bring your trailer to a dealer to have reflective stickers installed free of charge.
  5. If you have further questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
