2018 FOREST RIVER CHEROKEE

  • Brand FOREST RIVER

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2018 Cherokee recreational trailers because the amber side marker lights are not positioned as far forward as they should be, and some vehicles are missing intermediate side reflex reflectors near the midpoint of the vehicle. These issues reduce the visibility of the trailers to other drivers and increase the risk of a crash, violating federal safety standards for lamps and reflective devices.

To remedy the problem, Forest River will notify owners and dealers will install amber side marker lights positioned as far forward as feasible and mount the missing side marker reflectors at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-499-2100 and reference recall number 75-0613.
