CarRecallWatch- Component
- EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER; EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS
- Problem
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017 Palomino Columbus recreational vehicles equipped with the package to install an optional generator. The liquid propane (LP) supply hose for the generator may be too small, and, as a result, the stove may not have a sufficient supply of propane to keep the burner(s) lit.
- Risk
- If the burner(s) cannot stay lit, after the flame extinguishes, propane may continue to flow into the vehicle, increasing the risk of a fire or explosion when the stove range is re-ignited.
- Remedy
- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct propane supply lines, free of charge. The recall began on March 9, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-3161. Forest River's number for this recall is 410-0201207-0317.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2017 Palomino Columbus RVs equipped with the optional generator package may have a liquid propane supply hose for the generator that is too small. As a result, the stove may not get enough propane to keep its burner(s) lit.
If a burner goes out, propane can keep flowing into the vehicle. Re-lighting the stove then creates a risk of fire or explosion.
Forest River will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install the correct propane supply lines at no cost to you. Contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-3161 and reference recall number 410-0201207-0317. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
