Transport Canada recalls
02- 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.
- Suspension#2025390
14 units affected
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.
