The problem

The risk
Without the trailer brakes assisting, stopping distances may be lengthened, increasing the risk of a crash.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake controller, free of charge. The recall began July 23, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-327-2392. Forest River's number for this recall is 65-1046.
