Forest River, Inc.: Cherokee Travel Trailers Recalled for Microwave Fire Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 63 of its 2025 Cherokee CKT20-0G travel trailers because of a fire hazard in the kitchen. During the manufacturing process, an incorrectly sized screw was used to install the microwave, causing the screw to poke into the microwave's interior compartment. This defect can lead to electrical arcing during use and potentially start a fire. Forest River dealers will inspect and replace the affected microwaves as necessary, free of charge.

Risk

The presence of a metal screw inside the microwave compartment can cause electrical arcing (sparking) when the microwave is operated, which creates a significant risk of fire within the vehicle.
