What's wrong

The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018-2024 Coachmen Adrenaline and 2020-2024 Work and Play fifth wheels and travel trailers. The side marker lights may not reflect light as intended, which can make it difficult for other drivers to see the trailer. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

Non-reflective side marker lights can reduce the trailer's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

The fix

Dealers will install reflector stickers, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 5, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-825-6302. Forest River's number for this recall is 320-1697.
