Forest River, Inc.: 2023 Salem and Wildwood Travel Trailers Recalled for Propane Leak Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 6 of its 2023 Salem and Wildwood travel trailers because a brass fitting on the furnace pipe may be missing the necessary thread sealant. Without this sealant, the connection may not be airtight, leading to potential propane gas leaks. Dealers will inspect the fitting and apply sealant if needed at no cost to owners.

Risk

Missing thread sealant can cause a propane gas leak, which creates a significant risk of fire or explosion if the gas is ignited by a spark or flame.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's make and model to see if it is a 2023 Forest River Salem or Wildwood travel trailer.
  2. Contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-534-3167 to confirm if your specific unit is affected by recall number 69-1642.
  3. Since most affected trailers are currently in dealer inventory, contact your local Forest River dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair of the furnace pipe brass fitting.
  4. Contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
