The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020 Georgetown and FR3 motorhomes. The trailer hitch bolts may not have been properly tightened, which can allow cause the hitch to detach from the chassis.
The risk
If the motorhome is towing a trailer or vehicle, the hitch detaching from the motorhome can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will properly torque the bolts, free of charge. The recall began January 7, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-296-7600. Forest River's number for this recall is 68-1119.
