EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022 East to West Della Terra, Silver Lake, Vibe, and XLR Boost Toy Hauler travel trailers. The coupler was improperly welded, which may cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.
- What it can cause
- Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the coupler as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 31, 2022. Owners may contact the following customer service numbers: Forest River 1-574-825-4995; East to West Della Terra & Silver Lake 1-574-264-6664; Vibe 1-574-296-2084; and XLR 1-574-642-0432.

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 645 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 53% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 157 times before this, most recently in January 2022 as 22V003000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 7 complaints with NHTSA. 3 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V612000 (structure), 22V556000 (equipment), 22V486000 (equipment), 22V243000 (equipment).
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 March 11, 2022 as campaign 22V143000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
