# 18V-066 recall: Forest River Cherokee

These are official NHTSA recalls. A model year on a campaign is not proof a VIN is included. Owner reports are not included.

**Campaign:** 18V-066
**Manufacturer:** Forest River, Inc.
**Component:** EXTERIOR LIGHTING
**Filed:** January 22, 2018
**NHTSA:** https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=18V066

## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Cherokee recreational trailers.  The amber side marker lights are not located as far to the front as feasible on the vehicle.  Additionally, the vehicles may also be missing the intermediate side reflex reflectors located at, or near, the midpoint of the vehicle.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

## The safety risk

If the marker lights are in the wrong location or if the reflectors are missing, it can reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install amber side marker lights as far forward as feasible, and mount side marker reflectors, free of charge.  The recall began on February 16, 2018.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-499-2100.  Forest River's number for this recall is 75-0613.
