- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Palomino trailers. The antenna wing may not be properly secured to the roof, allowing it to detach from the roof while moving.
- What it can cause
- If the antenna detaches while moving, it can be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, repair or replace the antenna, free of charge. The recall began November 23, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-269-432-3271. Forest River's number for this recall is 400-1243.
- 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 1,150 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2021, 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 equipment 141 times before this, most recently in October 2020 as 20V605000. 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 October 26, 2020 as campaign 20V656000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
