2023 Forest River Salem & 2023 Forest River Wildwood recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023 Salem, and Wildwood Travel Trailers. The brass fitting connected to the furnace pipe may have been manufactured without thread sealant.
💥 The risk
Missing thread sealant can cause a propane gas leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the brass elbow and apply thread sealant as necessary, free of charge. All affected trailers are still within dealer inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-534-3167. Forest River's number for this recall is 69-1642.
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.)
