Forest River recall: Service brakes
What is wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Rockport work trucks equipped with an optional trailer brake controller. The brake controller may have been wired improperly, which may prevent the brake controller from activating the trailer brakes when the vehicle's brakes are applied.
What could happen
Without the trailer brakes assisting, stopping distances may be lengthened, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
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.
