Details

What's wrong: On certain floor plans, the liquid propane (lp) gas line was routed and fastened along the bottom of the frame rail. When the trailer hits a bump, the positioning of the lp gas line may allow the "u" bolt on the axle to pinch the line between the main rail and the "u" bolt.

Why it matters: As a result, the line may break and leak l.p. Gas which may cause fire, injury, or death.

The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will re-route the lp line, free of charge. The recall began during May 2012.
