2017 Forest River XLR recalls
Tongue Jack Can Move Unexpectedly, Risking Crash or Injury
The laminated plastic touch pad on the Smart-Jack power tongue jack can crack or separate.
Fire extinguisher may fail to discharge in a fire
Some fire extinguishers installed in certain recreational vehicles, cargo trailers and restroom trailers may have clogged internals, so they may not discharge as expected or may need excessive force to activate.
Generator exhaust can melt underbelly, causing fire risk
Certain trailers with an optional generator have the generator's exhaust pipe mounted too close to the plastic underbelly of the trailer.
Wrong tire and weight data on label may cause crash risk
Certain 2017-2018 recreational trailers may have a Federal Placard that inaccurately lists the tire and rim combinations installed on the trailer.
Patio deck can drop unexpectedly, raising crash risk
Certain 2016-2018 XLR Toyhauler recreational vehicles may have side patio deck bar lock fasteners that are not strong enough.
Wrong Certification Label May Lead to Improper Towing
Certain 2017 fifth-wheel recreational vehicles have a Federal Placard that incorrectly identifies the vehicle as a "Travel Trailer" when it should say "Fifth-Wheel." The vehicle identification number (VIN) also does not match the type of vehicle, so the certification information is not correct.
