Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 6 of its 2025 East to West Alta travel trailers because the inverter may have been incorrectly wired. In these specific recreational vehicles, the inverter was connected to the constant 'hot' side of the second battery, leaving the wiring unprotected. Owners should contact a Forest River dealer to have the inverter rewired to the breaker side of the battery at no cost.

Risk

An unprotected inverter wire creates a high electrical load without a safety break, which increases the risk of an electrical fire. NHTSA has not issued a specific park-outside advisory for this recall, but owners should seek the free repair immediately to mitigate fire hazards.

What You Should Do

  1. Check if your vehicle is one of the 6 affected units by locating your VIN and contacting Forest River customer service at 1-574-264-6664 (Reference recall number 501-1859).
  2. Schedule an appointment with an authorized Forest River dealer for the following free remedy: 'Dealers will rewire the inverter to the breaker side of the second battery, free of charge.'
  3. Watch for an official owner notification letter, which Forest River expects to mail out beginning December 11, 2024.
  4. If you have additional questions or concerns, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
