What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2024 East to West Tandara and Blackthorn fifth wheels. The rear ladder may not be anchored properly in the rear wall, which can allow the ladder to detach.

The risk

A ladder that detaches can increase the risk of injury.

The fix

Dealers will install a new ladder that mounts to the roof, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 16, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-264-6664. Forest River's number for this recall is 500-1678.
