Summary
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023 Cherokee CKT36FBOP Travel Trailers.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Consequence
A trailer that detaches from a vehicle increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will install a new Federal Placard, free of charge. All affected vehicles are still in dealer inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be sent. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at1-260)-499-2100. Forest River's number for this recall is 89-1618.
