What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023 Salem, Stealth EVO, and Wildwood travel trailers. The 8-gauge wire connected to the 12-Volt refrigerator may not have over-current protection, which can cause the wire to melt.
Why it matters
Melted wiring can cause an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
