2023 Forest River Pause recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023 Forest River Pause Travel trailers. The breakaway switch may be incorrectly wired and cause the battery to not charge, resulting in no power to the breakaway switch.
💥 The risk
A breakaway switch that does not have power will not activate the trailer brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will rewire the breakaway switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 3, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-327-2681. Forest River's number for this recall is 426-1613.
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.)
