Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 25 units of its 2024-2025 Puma PUT39DBT travel trailers because an anti-siphon vent in the sewer system may have been installed backwards. This defect can allow dangerous sewer gas to enter the living area of the vehicle instead of venting safely outside. Owners of these trailers should contact a Forest River dealer to have the vent replaced with a correctly oriented unit at no cost.

Risk

If the vent is installed backwards, sewer gases can leak into the vehicle's interior, which increases the risk of illness or injury to occupants due to gas exposure.
