Problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2024 Cardinal and Wildcat Fifth Wheels trailers. The operator may utilize the rear towing hitch without locking the turning point fifth wheel hitch into the "Conventional Transport" position.
Risk
Towing while in a different position can cause the upper front structure to break and the pin box to separate from the vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix
Dealers will install a warning label to the hitch and rear wall of the vehicle, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 6, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-296-7700. Forest River's number for this recall is 15-1755.
