Defect. Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Amera-Lite cargo trailers, models ALDD610SA, ALDR610SA, ALDD612SA and ALDR612SA, manufactured February 11, 2016, to May 11, 2016. The thickness of the steel tubes used to manufacture the trailer's drawbars may be insufficient for the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
Risk. The drawbars can fracture and fail during operation, potentially resulting in a loss of control or the trailer detaching from the tow vehicle. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy. Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the drawbars, free of charge. The recall began on October 24, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-848-9216. Forest River's number for this recall is 24-09142016-0244.

A SECOND CASTLE ROCK TIRE HAS FAILED ON MY TRAVEL TRAILER WITH 200 MILES OF THE ONE THAT OCCURRED IN OCT 2020! THIS WAS A BLOW OUT AT LOW SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. LIKE THE FIRST ONE, THE TIRE THREW THE STEEL BELT.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
