⚠️ What's wrong
Forest river is recalling certain model year 2012 and 2013 Surveyor travel trailers, manufactured from august 12, 2011, through april 6, 2012. On certain floor plans, the liquid propane (lp) gas line was routed and fastened along the bottom of the frame rail.

As a result, the line may break and leak l.p. Gas which may cause fire, injury, or death.
