Forest River recall: Equipment

What is wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Vengeance trailers, models VGF351A13-81, VGF371A13-81, VGF383V16-81 and VGF4007V-81. The fifth-wheel landing legs may not be seated properly with enough space between the brackets which are welded to the chassis, allowing the fifth wheel to slip down the landing leg and can puncture the floor of the vehicle.

What could happen

The punctured floor can increase the risk of injury.

The fix

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will correct the spacing of the landing leg installation to the chassis from 17 1/2" to 17 3/4". These repairs will be done free of charge. The recall began August 14, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-499-2100. Forest River's number for this recall is 81-1180.
