Defect

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2024 Coachmen Clipper and Viking Travel Trailers. The tail light bezel may not have been installed on the vehicle.

Safety risk

A missing tail light bezel may reduce visibility of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will install the tail light bezel, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 6, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-269-467-4600. Forest River's number for this recall is 120-1729.
