Description

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Rockport work trucks equipped with an optional trailer brake controller. The brake controller may have been wired improperly, which may prevent the brake controller from activating the trailer brakes when the vehicle's brakes are applied. Without the trailer brakes assisting, stopping distances may be lengthened, increasing the risk of a crash.
