## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Surveyor recreational trailers, models SVT248BHLE and SVT248BHLE-OR.  The refrigerator in the slideroom may have been installed without an air cycling fan to cool the refrigerator parts, which can cause the refrigerator cooling tubes to fail.

## The safety risk

If the refrigerator overheats, the cooling tubes may fail, increasing the risk of a fire.

## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a fan assembly, free of charge.  The recall began on April 9, 2018.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-573-642-3119.  Forest River's number for this recall is 3747-0667.
