Forest River, Inc.: Travel Trailers Recalled Due to Fire Risk from Faulty Electrical Outlets

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 559 travel trailers from the 2024 model year, including Coachmen Adrenaline, Apex, Freedom Express, Remote, Spirit, and Forest River Work and Play models. These vehicles contain electrical outlets where the internal wiring blades (the hot and neutral openings) may be reversed on one side of the receptacle. This manufacturing defect can cause the outlet to fail, which significantly increases the risk of a fire inside the trailer. Forest River dealers will replace the incorrect receptacles with properly wired ones at no cost to owners.

Risk

The reversed plug blades on the electrical outlet can lead to electrical failure or short-circuiting during use. This malfunction creates an immediate fire hazard within the living quarters of the travel trailer.
