Rigs named in this campaign
NHTSA named these model years. A model year on this list is not proof your VIN is included.
The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023 Salem, and Wildwood Travel Trailers. The brass fitting connected to the furnace pipe may have been manufactured without thread sealant.
The safety risk
Missing thread sealant can cause a propane gas leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
The remedy
Dealers will inspect the brass elbow and apply thread sealant as necessary, free of charge. All affected trailers are still within dealer inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-534-3167. Forest River's number for this recall is 69-1642.
Dates
NHTSA received the report on May 19, 2023.
