What this recall means for you
Certain travel trailers have an outdoor cooktop that can be put away in its drawer while the propane hose is still connected and the burner is on. Stowing the cooktop in this state can increase the risk of a fire.
If you own one of these trailers, stop using the outdoor cooktop until the fix is installed. Before storing it, turn off the burner and disconnect the propane hose, and check whether your trailer is affected. The remedy is free: dealers will install a bracket on the drawer housing the outside cooktop so the drawer cannot be closed while the propane line is still attached. Forest River will notify owners, and you can contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0606, referencing recall number 425-1269. You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
