Details

What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Salem and Wildwood recreational trailers. The power cord hatch is located above the water heater exhaust, possibly resulting in the cord or the hatch melting.

Why it matters: A melted cord may result in bare wiring, increasing the risk of fire.

The fix: Forest river has notified owners, and dealers will secure the power cord away from the water heater exhaust, free of charge. The recall began February 4, 2019.
