NHTSA named these model years. A model year on this list is not proof your VIN is included.

The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2026 Spirit travel trailers. The installed safety chains may not meet the actual Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the Federal Placard. This can cause the chains to fail, allowing the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.

The safety risk

Separation of the trailer and tow vehicle increases the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will replace the safety chains, free of charge. All vehicles are still in dealer inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8519. Forest River's number for this recall is 220-1941.

Dates

NHTSA received the report on June 20, 2025.
