Forest River Cherokee trailer recall – front end could hit the road

By Russ and Tiña De Maris

Forest River is recalling Cherokee travel trailers for a draw bar locking mechanism problem. The draw bar locking mechanism may break, which can cause the front end of the trailer to contact the road. A trailer that contacts the road during transit increases the risk of a crash or injury. The Forest River Cherokee trailer recall involves some 302 trailers.

Remedy

The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 14, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-4995. Forest River’s number for this recall is 95-1705.

Russ and Tiña went from childhood tent camping to RVing in the 1980s when the ground got too hard. They've been tutored in the ways of RVing (and RV repair) by a series of rigs, from truck campers, to a fifth-wheel, and several travel trailers. In addition to writing scores of articles on RVing topics, they've also taught college classes for folks new to RVing. They authored the book, RV Boondocking Basics.
