2018 Forest River Surveyor recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Surveyor recreational trailers, models SVT248BHLE and SVT248BHLE-OR. The refrigerator in the slideroom may have been installed without an air cycling fan to cool the refrigerator parts, which can cause the refrigerator cooling tubes to fail.
💥 The risk
If the refrigerator overheats, the cooling tubes may fail, increasing the risk of a fire.
🔧 The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a fan assembly, free of charge. The recall began on April 9, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-573-642-3119. Forest River's number for this recall is 3747-0667.
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.)
