2007 Forest River Salem LE & 2007 Forest River Wildwood LE recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with suburban three burner match light gas ranges, the oven thermostat control valve CAN allow gas flow to the oven burner when the oven control knob is pushed in and not fully in the correct position to light the pilot.
💥 The risk
If the oven control knob was depressed for some time before lighting the pilot light, the excess gas in the oven could cause a flash at the opening of the oven, possibly resulting in personal injury.
🔧 The fix
Forest river is working with suburban to replace the oven thermostat control free of charge. The recall began on march 30, 2007. Owners may contact suburban at 1-423-775-2131, ext. 1, or forest river at at 1-503-831-5410.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
