Defect

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 Catalina 184BHS and 184 BHS-W travel trailer recreational vehicles. The interior plates that clamp the slide-mechanism to the interior wall were installed incorrectly, which may cause the slide-room to partially detach during transit.

Safety risk

Slide-room detachment while the vehicle is moving can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the interior plates for the slide-room, and replace the exterior column screws, free of charge. The recall began March 11, 2021. Owners may contact Catalina customer service at 1-574-825-4995. Forest River's number for this recall is 203-1300.

Notes

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.
