Summary

Outdoors RV Manufacturing "ORV" is recalling certain 2019-2020 Trail Series MTN TRX 22TRX toyhauler travel trailers. The axles may be incorrectly mounted too far forward, potentially causing light tongue weight on the tow vehicle.

Consequence

Light tongue weight can lead to unsafe towing conditions including trailer sway and/or the trailer becoming separated from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

ORV will notify owners, and dealers will move the axles 10 inches back towards the rear of the trailer to increase the tongue weight, free of charge. The recall began October 11, 2019. Owners may contact ORV customer service at 1-541-962-1866, extension 222. ORV's number for this recall is 2019-001.
