Forest River is recalling 24 of its 2023-2024 Sandstorm and Stealth travel trailers, along with 2024 Shockwave models. These vehicles were manufactured with an incorrect 10-gauge wire running from the 50AMP power inlet to the distribution panel's transfer switch. This undersized wire can overheat and melt during use, which may lead to a short circuit and a vehicle fire. To resolve this issue, dealers will replace the faulty wiring with a thicker 6-gauge wire at no cost to the owner.
The undersized electrical wiring cannot safely handle the intended power load, causing the insulation to melt and exposing live wires. This creates a high risk of an electrical short circuit that can ignite surrounding materials and start a fire within the trailer.
