Forest River recalls 2020-2021 Vengeance trailers with improper landing leg spacing that risks floor punctures. Owners must contact customer service for free repairs.
The punctured floor can increase the risk of injury.
Forest River is recalling certain 2020-2021 Vengeance trailers because the fifth-wheel landing legs may not be seated properly, increasing the risk of floor punctures. This could lead to injury if the trailer's floor is punctured during normal use.
The landing legs may not be seated properly with enough space between the brackets welded to the chassis. This allows the fifth wheel to slip down the landing leg, potentially puncturing the trailer's floor during normal use.
Owners of 2020-2021 Forest River Vengeance trailers with specific model numbers are affected. Trailer operators and people who use these trailers for hauling goods are most at risk.
Check if your trailer has model numbers VGF351A13-81, VGF371A13-81, VGF383V16-81, or VGF4007V-81. These were sold between August 2020 and 2021.
Call Forest River at 1-260-499-2100 to schedule free repairs for the landing leg spacing.
Dealers will correct the spacing of the landing leg installation to 17 3/4" from the chassis.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will correct the spacing of the landing leg installation to the chassis from 17 1/2" to 17 3/4". These repairs will be done free of charge.
