What this recall means for you
Certain travel trailers may have the inverter wired directly to constant power on the second battery instead of through the breaker. As a result, the inverter wire is not protected, which raises the risk of a fire.
If you own an affected trailer, contact a Forest River authorized dealer to have the inverter rewired to the breaker side of the second battery. The repair is free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed, and you can also contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-264-6664. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls to confirm whether your trailer is affected.
