Problem Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2024 Puma travel trailers. The amber side marker light may not have been installed on one side of the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Risk Missing side marker lights can reduce visibility of the trailer to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Dealers will install intermediate amber clearance lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 19, 2024. Owners may contact customer service at 1-574-642-0488. Forest River's number for this recall is 425-1787.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 425-1787 is the number Forest River assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 24V387000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
