What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2025 Coachmen Catalina ACAT35FME travel trailers. The towing coupler may be underrated for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the trailer.

The risk

An underrated towing coupler can break, allowing the trailer to detach from the tow vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace the coupler, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 2, 2025. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 574-825-4995. Forest River's number for this recall is 205-1897.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to nhtsa.gov.
