Details

What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Berkshire coach Ultra ul1912 and ul1913 motorhomes. Water and contaminants may get into the block heater cable's splice connector causing corrosion and damage.

Why it matters: When the heater is plugged in, prolonged corrosion could cause a resistive short, increasing the risk of overheated or melted wiring which can increase the risk of a fire.

The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and Ford dealers will disable the vehicle's engine block heater cable, free of charge. The recall began June 27, 2019.
