2004–2024 Forest River Cedar Creek, Forest River Puma: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 24V395000 · 41K units potentially affected · filed Jun 4, 2024
What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2004-2024 Cedar Creek and 2006-2024 Puma fifth wheels trailers. The overcurrent protection from the trailer battery may have been incorrectly routed, allowing the wires to be pulled out of the junction box.
Why it matters
A loose wire can cause a short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
Dealers will reroute the wires to the protected side of the mini-beaker, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 10, 2024. Owners may contact Puma customer service at 1-574-642-0588 or Cedar Creek customer service at 260-593-4000. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-1786.
