NHTSA recall 18V034000
Electrical System · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Forest River Cherokee travel trailers. On the affected trailers, a 14 gauge and a 12 gauge neutral wire for the 110v air conditioning were connected to the same lug in the 120v panel neutral bus bar.
Why it matters: If both wires were connected to same lug, the smaller wire may overheat and fail due to trying to handle a higher load, thereby increasing the risk of an electrical fire.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the subject wire to another 14 gauge terminal, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 14, 2018.
