11- Label#2026359
80 units affected
Issue: On certain RV trailers, the compliance label may list the wrong fresh water holding tank capacity. This could lead to overloading of the trailer and cause poor handling or a tire failure. Safety Risk: Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and result in a crash. Corrective Actions: Forest River will mail a new compliance label to each owner. If you'd like help to install the label, you can contact a Forest River dealership to have it installed free of charge.

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. Safety Risk: An awning that falls from the vehicle could create a risk of injury. An awning that falls from a moving vehicle could create road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the fabric roll on the awning. It will be repaired or replaced, as necessary.
- Accessories#2020278
28 units affected
Issue: On certain travel trailers, the furnace may not have been secured correctly. This could allow the furnace to move and become disconnected from the exhaust vent. If this occurs, carbon monoxide could build-up inside the trailer when the furnace is used. Safety Risk: A build-up of carbon monoxide inside the trailer could result in asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your travel trailer to a dealer to secure the furnace.
- Other#2020223
4 units affected
Issue: Certain travel trailers were equipped with safety chains that are not strong enough. As a result, if the trailer becomes uncoupled from the tow vehicle, the safety chains could break. This could allow the trailer to detach from the tow vehicle. Safety Risk: A trailer that separates from the tow vehicle could create the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your trailer to a dealer to replace the safety chains with stronger ones.
- Accessories#2020052
743 units affected
Issue: On certain travel trailers, the U-bolts used to hold the spare tire carrier to the travel trailer may break. This could cause the tire and carrier to separate from the trailer. Safety Risk: A spare tire carrier that falls from the trailer could become a hazard for other road users and bystanders. This could create a risk of injury and/or a crash. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your travel trailer to a dealer to replace the defective U-bolts. Forest River advises that you should remove the spare tire until the recall repairs have been completed.
- Accessories#2018140
19 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the refrigerator in the slide room does not have a cycling fan installed. This could cause the refrigerator to overheat, potentially resulting in cooling tubes failing. This could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a fan assembly.
- Electrical#2018002
6 units affected
On certain travel trailers, a 30 amp circuit breaker was incorrectly installed during manufacturing. Instead, a 15 amp circuit breaker should have been installed. With an incorrect amperage circuit breaker, the wiring of the breaker cannot manage the amp draw requirements, which could result in the wiring melting, and increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a new replacement 15 amp circuit breaker.
- Electrical#2016055
3 units affected
On certain travel trailers, some of the wiring of the general circuit receptacles may have been wired incorrectly. This could result in the receptacle receiving over-current, which could cause an electrical arc and increase the risk of shock or electrocution to the user. Correction: Dealers will inspect the wiring of the general circuit, and repair as necessary.
- Electrical#2015550
4 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the power wire of the slide mechanism(s) and slide rooms may have been incorrectly connected during manufacturing. As a result, the wiring and motor do not have over-current protection. This could result in an increase in amperage draw, and could lead to melting of the power wire and increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the wiring of the slide mechanism(s), and re-wire as necessary. Anti-corrosion spray will also be applied to the electrical connections.
- Wheels#2015243
149 units affected
On certain travel trailers and fifth wheels, the wheel hubs may have been manufactured with defective wheel studs, which could cause a complete separation of the wheel(s) from the travel trailer and a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the defective hubs.
- Label#2013422
106 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the Certification label and the Tire and Loading Information label do not contain correct tire pressure information. The labels incorrectly indicate the tires ST225/75R15C, be inflated to a pressure of 65 psi, but instead should read 50 psi. Improper tire pressure can lead to tire failure which, in turn, can result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed dealers or to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.
