Forest River Recalls Rockport Work Trucks Due to Liftgate Defect

Forest River is recalling certain Rockport Work Trucks because the rear liftgate may fall if a U-bolt is missing, increasing injury risk.

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 structural vehicle defect where a falling liftgate increases the risk of injury, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2011, 2016-2019, and 2021-2024 Rockport Work Trucks. The recall involves 54 vehicles where the rear liftgate may have been installed without a U-bolt on the driver and passenger side.

This defect can allow the liftgate to fall to the ground when loaded. A liftgate that falls unexpectedly increases the risk of injury.

Dealers will inspect and replace the U-bolts, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 17, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-522-7599 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
