What this recall covers
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Forest River Wildwood and Salem recreational trailers.

- The risk
- If the trailer does not brake when it becomes detached from the tow vehicle, it can increase the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a new wiring harness, free of charge. The recall began on July 25, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-534-4058. Forest River's number for this recall is 69-0764.
