What this recall means for you
Certain 2018 Forest River XLR recreational trailers (models XLT26HFS, XLT26HFS-W, and XLT27KW) were not equipped with a liquid propane (LP) and carbon monoxide (CO) detector. Without this detector, occupants may not be warned of dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide inside the trailer.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can cause serious injury. Because the trailers lack a detector, an occupant may not realize the gas is building up until symptoms appear, which raises the risk of injury.
Forest River has notified owners, and authorized dealers will install an LP/CO detector at no cost to you. You can contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432 and reference recall number 45-0931. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
