What this recall covers
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023 Cherokee CKT36FBOP Travel Trailers.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
- The risk
- A trailer that detaches from a vehicle increases the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will install a new Federal Placard, free of charge. All affected vehicles are still in dealer inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be sent. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at1-260)-499-2100. Forest River's number for this recall is 89-1618.

Is my vehicle affected?
Being on this list means your year, make and model fall inside campaign 23V226000. It does not mean your individual vehicle does: a campaign covers a range of VINs built in a specific window, and vehicles either side of that window are untouched.
Check the 17-character VIN from the driver-side dashboard or door jamb against NHTSA's lookup. If it is covered, the dealer must do the work free of charge, regardless of the vehicle's age or mileage.
