## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Forest River Cherokee recreational trailers, models CCKT16BF, CCKT16BHS, CCKT16FQ, CCKT16GR, CCKT16GRH, CCKT17RP and CCKT18TO.  These vehicles are equipped with Norcold N306 mini refrigerators that may have a loose or missing propane gas valve test port screw, allowing propane to leak out when the refrigerator is used in 'gas' mode.

## The safety risk

A propane leak increases the risk of a fire.

## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and Norcold dealers will install and tighten the gas valve port screw, as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on April 19, 2018.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-499-2100, or Norcold customer service at 1-800-543-1219.  Forest River's number for this recall is 51-0687.
