Forest River, Inc.: Impression Fifth Wheels Recalled for Exterior Griddle Fire Risk

Agency Publication Date: July 21, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 12 of its 2023 Impression fifth wheel recreational vehicles because of a fire hazard involving the exterior griddle. The griddle may be stowed while still connected to the liquid propane (LP) gas line, which can lead to gas buildup or heat transfer in an enclosed area. Dealers will install a new 90-degree fitting on the griddle to address the issue at no cost to owners.

Risk

If the griddle is stowed while the gas is still in use or while the unit is still hot and connected to the fuel line, it significantly increases the risk of a fire within the vehicle storage compartment.
