What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Rockport, Parcelport, Cargoport, and Workport vehicles manufactured December 2, 2013, to October 17, 2014. In the affected vehicles the upper ball joint pinch bolt may not have been sufficiently tightened.

The risk

If the pinch bolt is not sufficiently tightened, it can separate causing a loss of vehicle control that increases the risk of a vehicle crash.

The fix

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the upper ball joint pinch bolt, and tighten if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 17, 2014. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-219-533-5934.

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.safercar.gov.
