What this recall means for you
Some travel trailers have the refrigerator's spark igniter wire connected to a 30-amp circuit breaker instead of the 15-amp circuit it should use. Because the breaker allows more current than the wire can safely carry, the wire can melt, which raises the risk of a fire.
If your trailer is affected, Forest River will notify you directly. An authorized dealer will move the wire from the 30-amp circuit to the designated 15-amp circuit at no cost to you. You can also contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-3119. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your trailer is included.
