## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023 Cherokee CKT36FBOP Travel Trailers.  The safety chains may be insufficient for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the federal placard, which can allow the trailer to detach.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

## The safety risk

A trailer that detaches from a vehicle increases the risk of a crash.

## The remedy

Dealers will install a new Federal Placard, free of charge. All affected vehicles are still in dealer inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be sent.  Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at1-260)-499-2100.  Forest River's number for this recall is 89-1618.
