Owners will be notified by the manufacturer. Dealers will install an exterior furnace vent on any affected trailer that does not already have one, and the repair is free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in April 2015. You can contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-389-4600, referencing recall number 400-03032015-0016, and check your vehicle identification number for open recalls.
