NHTSA recall 17V396000
Electrical System, Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Coachmen rv Encounter recreational vehicles, and 2014-2018 Coachmen rv Mirada and Mirada Select recreational vehicles equipped with the residential refrigerator option instead of the standard refrigerator. The unused, but powered, wiring for the standard refrigerator was left with exposed wire ends.
Why it matters: If the energized positive wire and negative wire make contact, the wires may sort circuit and possibly melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will disconnect the positive and negative wires from the battery, free of charge. The recall began on August 3, 2017.
