The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2024 Shasta Oasis travel trailers. The side marker lights may not reflect light as intended, which can make it difficult for other drivers to see the trailer. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Non-reflective side marker lights can reduce the trailer's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the marker lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 24, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-821-1311. Forest River's number for this recall is 53-1724.
Contacts
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.
