Defect description

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023 Cherokee CKT36FBOP Travel Trailers. The safety chains may be insufficient for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the federal placard, which can allow the trailer to detach. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Safety risk

A trailer that detaches from a vehicle increases the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Owner complaints
