- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019-2020 XLR Micro Boost trailers, models XLT25LRLE-79 and XLT27LRLE-79. The fasteners used to attach the ramp door may loosen and cause the ramp door to detach from the vehicle.
- What it can cause
- If the ramp door detaches from the vehicle, it may result in injury and/or a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers or authorized service centers will replace the fasteners for the ramp door, free of charge. This recall began June 1, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432. Forest River's number for this recall is 79-1161.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 223 vehicles this is a small campaign: 59% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the structure 10 times before this, most recently in February 2020 as 20V119000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Forest River, Inc. with NHTSA on May 15, 2020 as campaign 20V276000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
