2017 Forest River Rockwood recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017 Rockwood travel trailers, models RLF8301WS and RLF8301WS-W.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
