Forest River, Inc. is recalling 498 travel trailers, including the 2024-2025 Catalina and Aurora models, due to a solar panel wiring defect. The solar panels may have been incorrectly wired, which can cause the electrical system to short circuit and overheat. No injuries or incidents have been reported, but owners are urged to have the wiring repaired by a dealer to prevent the risk of a fire. Forest River began notifying owners by mail on November 15, 2024.
Incorrect wiring in the solar panel system can lead to an electrical short circuit. This causes the wiring to overheat and potentially melt, which significantly increases the risk of a fire within the vehicle.
Dealers will rewire the solar panel to the solar controller free of charge.
