## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022 Coachmen Apex travel trailers.  The tail lights may have been incorrectly wired to an "ON/OFF" switch, which can cause the brake or tail lights to not illuminate when the switch is in the "off" position.

## The safety risk

Brake or tail lights that fail to illuminate can reduce visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

## The remedy

Dealers will rewire the tail lights, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed August 9, 2022.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-358-0401.  Forest River's number for this recall is 220-1535.
