The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 Prime Time Avenger travel trailers. The safety chains that help prevent a total trailer separation may have been incorrectly attached to the trailer.
The risk
If the vehicle trailer becomes detached from the tow-vehicle, the safety chains may break, leading to complete detachment and potential property damage, personal injury or a crash.
The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and a dealer or service center will install the missing safety chain attaching hardware, free of charge. The recall began June 16, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-1163.
