Transport Canada recalls
02- Structure#2025582
1 units affected
Issue: On one RV trailer, one of the tires on the road-side (left side) of the trailer could contact an outrigger while driving. This could damage the tire(s) and cause a tire failure. Safety Risk: A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The affected trailer has not been delivered to a customer. Forest River will instruct the dealer to modify the outrigger to provide additional clearance for the tire before the trailer is delivered.
- Electrical#2025545
3,889 units affected
Issue: On certain RV trailers, the 12 V wiring for the distribution panel may not have been installed properly. As a result, the wiring may not have proper circuit protection. If this happens, the wiring could overheat and melt before the circuit breaker trips. Safety Risk: Wiring that overheats and melts could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Forest River advises you not to plug in the RV trailer until the recall repairs have been completed. Forest River will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your RV trailer to a dealership to correct the wiring.
