09- Electrical#2026103
9 units affected
Issue: On a small number of RV trailers, the insulation on the wires for the shore power inlet may not have been removed properly. As a result, the wires could be exposed and cause electrical arcing (sparks). Safety Risk: Electrical arcing can create the risk of a fire. Exposed wiring could create a risk of shock or electrocution. Corrective Actions: None of the affected trailers have been delivered to customers. Forest River will instruct dealers to inspect and, if necessary, repair the wiring for the shore power inlet before the trailers are delivered. To reduce the safety risk, Forest River advises you not to use the shore power inlet until the recall repairs are completed.

Issue: On certain RV trailers, the wrong suspension parts may have been installed on the axle(s). As a result, the trailer could be overloaded and cause a wheel to detach and/or and a leaf spring to fail. This could lead to poor handling and cause a loss of control. Safety Risk: A loss of control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a wheel that detaches from the trailer could create a hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Forest River recommends not to load the RV trailer with water, propane or personal belongings until the recall repairs are completed. Forest River will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your RV trailer to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the suspension parts.

Issue: On certain RV trailers and motorhomes, the fabric for the patio awning may not be properly attached. As a result, the awning could detach and fall from the vehicle.

- Lights And Instruments#2021710
53 units affected
Issue: On certain RV trailers, the rear identification lamps may not have been positioned correctly. Canadian regulations have specific requirements for the position of trailer lamps. Safety Risk: A trailer with lamps that are not positioned correctly may be less visible to others. This could increase the risk of a crash.

- Suspension#2018693
65 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the axles may not have enough grease on the inner hub bearings. This could cause the bearings to overheat and fail, potentially resulting in wheel lockup or separation. This may result in a loss of control causing a crash. In addition, a loose wheel assembly could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect all hub assemblies. If there is insufficient grease and the bearings are in new condition, the bearings will be repacked, and the hubs reinstalled. If the bearings show any signs of wear, the hubs and bearings will be replaced. If the axle beam shows any damage, it will also be replaced.
