## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Forest River Surveyor recreational trailers, model SVT241RBLE.  The refrigerator in the slide room may not have an air cycling fan to cool the refrigerator parts, which can cause the refrigerator to overheat.

## The safety risk

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

## The remedy

Forest River has notified owners, and dealers will install a cooling fan assembly, free of charge.  The recall began on May 9, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-3119.  Forest River's number for this recall is 37-0719.
