The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Cargo Mate Cargo Trailers and Continental Cargo Trailers. The safety chains do not meet the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and could potentially break.
The risk
Safety chain breakage can cause the trailer to detach from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the safety chains, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 18, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-254-420-0171. Forest River's number for this recall is 700-1530.
