# 18V-034 recall: Forest River Cherokee

These are official NHTSA recalls. A model year on a campaign is not proof a VIN is included. Owner reports are not included.

**Campaign:** 18V-034
**Manufacturer:** Forest River, Inc.
**Component:** ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
**Filed:** January 11, 2018
**NHTSA:** https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=18V034

## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Forest River Cherokee travel trailers.  On the affected trailers, a 14 gauge and a 12 gauge neutral wire for the 110V Air Conditioning were connected to the same lug in the 120V panel neutral bus bar.

## The safety risk

If both wires were connected to same lug, the smaller wire may overheat and fail due to trying to handle a higher load, thereby increasing the risk of an electrical fire.

## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the subject wire to another 14 gauge terminal, as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on February 14, 2018.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-499-2100.  Forest River's number for this recall is 17A-0609.
