Issue: On certain travel trailers, the U-bolts used to hold the spare tire carrier to the travel trailer may break. This could cause the tire and carrier to separate from the trailer. Safety Risk: A spare tire carrier that falls from the trailer could become a hazard for other road users and bystanders. This could create a risk of injury and/or a crash. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your travel trailer to a dealer to replace the defective U-bolts. Forest River advises that you should remove the spare tire until the recall repairs have been completed.
Issue: Some travel trailers were built with refrigerator wiring that does not have proper circuit protection. This could cause a wire to overheat and melt instead of tripping a circuit breaker. Safety Risk: Wiring that melts or overheats could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their trailer to an authorized dealer to re-wire the refrigerator spark igniter circuit.
