## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Salem and Wildwood fifth wheel travel trailers.  The awning rail may not be attached to a backer in the sidewall, which can allow the awning to detach while the vehicle is in motion.

## The safety risk

An awning that detaches increases the risk of a crash.

## The remedy

Dealers will inspect for backers and reattach the awning if necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed September 8, 2022.  Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-534-3167.  Forest River's number for this recall is 69-1538.
