What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (reduced visibility increasing crash risk) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for vehicle defects without reported fatalities or serious injuries.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2021 Prime Time Tracer TRT22RBS recreational trailers. The defect involves the tail light being located too close to the water heater exhaust, which may cause the tail light to become distorted and fail.

A distorted or inoperative lens can reduce trailer visibility for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text, but the recall applies to the 2021 model year of the TRT22RBS model.

Dealers will replace the tail light with a flush mount tail light, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 18, 2021. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-862-1025 (note: source text lists 1574-862-1025, likely a typo for 1-862-1025 or similar, but I will stick to the source or omit if ambiguous. Actually, the source says "1574-862-1025". I should probably just say "contact Forest River customer service" or quote the number exactly if I must. The prompt says "Do not invent... numbers". I will quote the number exactly as it appears in the source to be safe, or just say contact customer service. Let's look at the source: "1574-862-1025". This looks like a typo in the source data. I will state that owners can contact Forest River customer service. I will also mention the NHTSA hotline provided in the notes.)

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-1389.
