What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 F33-CKTS fifth wheels, equipped with i.d. Black iron pipe for the l.p. System. The affected vehicles may experience the pipe being damaged or punctured due to the spring action of the axle suspension.

Why it matters: If the iron pipe becomes damaged due to the spring action of the axle suspension, it could potentially cause a vehicle fire.

The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will install a replacement kit, part number 32096, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014.
