Forest River, Inc.: Prime Time Tracer Travel Trailers Recalled for Melting Tail Lights

Agency Publication Date: August 5, 2022

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 22 of its 2021 Prime Time Tracer TRT26KSS travel trailers because the tail light is mounted too close to the water heater's exhaust vent. This proximity can cause the tail light lens to melt, potentially causing the light to stop working entirely. Forest River dealers will install a new flush-mount tail light to resolve this issue at no cost to the owner.

Risk

A melted or broken tail light reduces the vehicle's visibility and prevents other drivers from seeing your signals, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you own a 2021 Forest River Prime Time Tracer TRT26KSS travel trailer.
  2. Check the tail light area near the water heater exhaust for any signs of heat damage, distortion, or melting of the plastic lens.
  3. Contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025 to schedule a free installation of a flush mount tail light at an authorized dealer. Please reference Forest River's recall number 48-1541.
  4. Call 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 for more information.
