Details

What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Berkshire XLT motorhomes. Incorrect circuit breakers were used that may not contact the electrical sub-panel correctly.

Why it matters: If the breakers do not contact the sub-panel properly, the electrical resistance can cause excessive heat, increasing the risk of a fire.

The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect circuit breaker, free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2018.
