Transport Canada recalls

Structure#2021423July 9, 2021
46 units affected
Issue: On certain RV trailers and motorhomes equipped with frameless windows, the adhesive that attaches the vented portion of the windows may fail. If this happens, the glass could separate and fall from the motorhome or trailer. Safety Risk: A window that detaches from the vehicle could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to an authorized dealer or service center to inspect and replace the vent window glass, as required.
Wheels#2020446September 21, 2020
51 units affected
Issue: On certain motorhomes, the tire valve stem extension for the inner wheel may get damaged by contact with the outer wheel. If this happens, the inner tire could lose air pressure. This could overload the outer tire and cause it to fail. Safety Risk: A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorhome to a Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) authorized service facility to inspect and adjust the inner wheel valve stem stabilizers, as needed. The inner valve stems will be replaced, if required.
Lights And Instruments#2020383August 18, 2020
76 units affected
Issue: Certain motorhomes built on a Freightliner chassis could have a problem with the rear-mounted Power Distribution Module (PDM). This could cause the tail lights not to work properly. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2018-582. Vehicles that had an inspection, but did not have the PDM replaced under the previous recall, require a second repair under this recall. Safety Risk: Brake lights, marker lights or turn signals that do not work properly could make the vehicle less visible. They could also cause a following driver not to recognize that a vehicle ahead is braking or intends to turn. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their motorhome to a Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) authorized service facility to replace the PDM..
Visual System#2018613November 5, 2018
359 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the motorized windshield shade on the driver's side could lower itself without warning while the vehicle is in motion. This could obstruct the driver's view, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will repair the motorized windshield shade.
Structure#2018498September 13, 2018
5 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the latch on entry door to the coach may not engage properly. This could allow the door to open unexpectedly when the vehicle is in transit, which could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will adjust the entry door to ensure that the latch engages properly.
