| Description |
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Amera-Lite cargo trailers, models ALDD610SA, ALDR610SA, ALDD612SA and ALDR612SA, manufactured February 11, 2016, to May 11, 2016. The thickness of the steel tubes used to manufacture the trailer's drawbars may be insufficient for the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). |
| Consequences |
The drawbars can fracture and fail during operation, potentially resulting in a loss of control or the trailer detaching from the tow vehicle. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash. |
| Corrective action |
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the drawbars, free of charge. The recall began on October 24, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-848-9216. Forest River's number for this recall is 24-09142016-0244. |
