- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 XLR Toy Hauler travel trailers. The mounting brackets may be improperly located or secured, allowing the fresh water tank to detach when full.
- What it can cause
- A detached water thank can create a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and add securements to the tank as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 12, 2025. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432. Forest River's number for this recall is 45-1997.
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 .

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.
