What happened

Forest River is recalling certain 2015-2017 Forest River Orion and Rev recreational vehicles, as well as 2014 Rockport work and delivery trucks built on a Chrysler RAM ProMaster chassis. These vehicles have a software error in the Trailer Tow Lighting Control Module that can prevent the trailer brake lights from turning on when the brakes are applied, which increases the risk of a crash and violates federal safety standards.

If you own an affected vehicle, you should contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440 or RAM customer service at 1-800-853-1403. RAM dealers will replace the defective module at no charge as part of the remedy that began on August 31, 2016. You can reference Forest River's recall number 210-06282016-0216 when contacting them.
