The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2017 Flagstaff and Rockwood trailers equipped with two air conditioners. There is may be excess slack in the wiring harness used in the air conditioner that contains a heating element.
The risk
If the wires are not tied back and properly secured away from the heating element, the wires may contact the heating element, melt and short, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a remedy kit to constrain the wires, free of charge. The recall began on November 1, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-5164. Forest River's number for this recall is 10-10062016-0254.
