2019 Forest River Prime Time recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Forest River Prime Time recreational trailers. The stove is not isolated from the furnace return air, which potentially causes an inverted flame on the cooktop.
💥 The risk
The inverted stove top flame can cause the propane supply line to fail, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a panel to separate the stove top from the furnace return air feed, free of charge. The recall began July 18, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-3001. Forest River's number for this recall is 48-0755.
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.)
