East To West recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023 East to West Della Terra, and Silver Lake travel trailers. The drawbar assembly containing the A-frame and safety chains, may be insufficient for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and could potentially break.
What could happen
Broken safety chains can allow the trailer to detach from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the drawbar assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 6, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-264-6664. Forest River's number for this recall is 508-1617.
