Complaint trend
Forest River Vibe recalls
Risk: Unvented exhaust fumes increase the risk of injury from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Risk: A stove that detached during use increases the risk of injury.
Risk: A damaged tire can fail and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury.
Risk: A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
Risk: Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: Insufficient ventilation may cause the refrigerator to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire or result in a carbon monoxide buildup, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: In the event of trailer separation from the tow vehicle, a failed break-away switch will not apply the trailer's brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: The missing bearing race may cause premature hub bearing failure, possibly resulting in a separation of the hub from the axle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the trailer brakes cannot engage if the trailer detaches from tow vehicle, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Risk: Without adequate clearance, the LP line may be damaged, resulting in a propane leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: The incorrect tire information can cause the operator to install the wrong size and load range of replacement tires, or underinflate the existing tires. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Risk: An energized stove may increase the risk of an electrical shock and injury.
Risk: If the wheel studs break, the wheel could detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
