Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 20,305 recreational trailers, including several models within the Aurora, Coachmen Catalina, Coachmen Viking, Coachmen Clipper, Wildwood, and Salem lines. The recall was initiated because a distribution panel wire may have been connected to the battery without necessary overcurrent protection. Owners are encouraged to contact a dealer to have the wire moved to the correct side of the breaker free of charge.

Risk

Without overcurrent protection, the electrical wiring can overheat and spark. This significantly increases the risk of a fire occurring within the trailer, which could lead to property damage or serious injury.
