# 18V-134 recall: Forest River XLR Toyhauler

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-134
**Manufacturer:** Forest River, Inc.
**Component:** EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
**Filed:** February 23, 2018
**NHTSA:** https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=18V134

## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Forest River XLR Toyhauler recreational trailers, models XLT25KW, XLT25KW-W, XLT28KW and XLT28KW-W.  The safety chains on these vehicles do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the trailer.

## The safety risk

If the trailer becomes uncoupled, the existing safety chains may fail, allowing the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the safety chains with chains that exceed the vehicle's GVWR, free of charge.  The recall began on March 13, 2018.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432.  Forest River's number for this recall is 45-0645.
