EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 Prime Time Tracer TRT26KSS travel trailers. The tail light may be located too close to the water heater exhaust, which can cause the tail light lens to melt and the light to become inoperative.
- What it can cause
- A distorted or inoperative tail light may reduce vehicle visibility and confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a flush mount tail light, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 26, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River's customer service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for this recall is 48-1541.
- 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.nhtsa.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 22 vehicles this is a small campaign: 86% 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 one model year, 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Prime Time vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting once before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V575000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 21V575000 (exterior lighting).
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 August 5, 2022 as campaign 22V586000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
