What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural vehicle defect affecting a critical safety system. Improper axle installation directly reduces brake function, creating an immediate risk of brake failure and crashes.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2022 Flagstaff and 2022-2023 Rockwood tent campers. The non-powered rear axles in these vehicles may be installed backwards, which can significantly reduce or eliminate brake function.

A loss of brake function increases the risk of a crash. Owners should not operate these vehicles until the issue is corrected.

The manufacturer will repair or replace the axle assembly at no cost. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 24, 2022.
