What this recall means for you
Certain 2021 East to West Alta travel trailers have a propane/carbon monoxide (LP/CO) detector installed in the wrong location. This can prevent the detector from picking up a propane leak or carbon monoxide in time.
Without early warning, a propane leak can increase the risk of fire, and carbon monoxide exposure can cause injury. Owners should not rely on the existing detector until the recall repair is completed.
The repair is free. Authorized dealers will install a new detector in the correct location. Owners who have questions can contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-264-6664, referencing recall number 501-1366. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
