Issue: On certain motorhomes and RV trailers, the fasteners that attach the solar panel may loosen or pull out. If this happens, a solar panel could separate from the vehicle while driving. Safety Risk: A solar panel that detaches from the vehicle could create a hazard for other road users and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorhome or RV trailer to a dealership to install an added bracket to secure the solar panel. If the solar panel has detached, a replacement will be installed.
