**Campaign:** 20V-297

## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Surveyor Travel Trailers, model SVT296QBLE.  The safety chains are insufficient for the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and may break in the event of the trailer coming unhitched.

## The safety risk

If the vehicle trailer becomes detached from the tow-vehicle, the safety chains may break, leading to complete detachment and potential property damage, personal injury or a crash.

## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and a dealer or service center will replace the safety chains, free of charge.  The recall began June 8, 2020.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-3112.  Forest River's number for this recall is 37-1170.
