Summary

Forest River is recalling approximately 4,480 recreational vehicles across various brands and models from the 2018-2024 model years. The LED backlight circuit board in the cooktop range can fail and overheat, potentially leading to a fire. This recall affects a wide range of popular models including the Cardinal, Wildcat, Cedar Creek, Columbus, Continental Cargo, Dynamax series (DX3, XL, Isata, Europa, Force), IBEX, NOBO, Sandstorm, Shockwave, and Stealth.

Risk
