# 18V-428 recall: Forest River Salem and Wildwood

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-428
**Manufacturer:** Forest River, Inc.
**Component:** ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
**Filed:** June 25, 2018
**NHTSA:** https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=18V428

## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Forest River Wildwood and Salem recreational trailers.  The break-away safety switch may have been improperly wired such that it is not connected to a constant power source, thereby possibly preventing the trailer brakes from automatically applying if the trailer were to separate from the tow vehicle.

## The safety risk

If the trailer does not brake when it becomes detached from the tow vehicle, it can increase the risk of a crash.

## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a new wiring harness, free of charge.  The recall began on July 25, 2018.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-534-4058.  Forest River's number for this recall is 69-0764.
