The problem
Forest River, Inc (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022-2023 East to West Alta travel trailers. The side marker lights may not reflect light as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Non-reflective side marker lights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install reflective stickers, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 30, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-264-6664. Forest River's number for this recall is 501-1571.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
