What's wrong

Why it matters
Melted wires increase the risk of a fire.

Dealers will inspect the wiring and replace the cable entry plate and solar controller as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 5, 2024. Owners may call Forest River Customer Service at (260) 593-2425. Forest River's number for this recall is 70-1853.
