Forest River recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017-2018 XLR Toyhauler, Vengeance and Wolf Pack recreational trailers equipped with an optional generator. The generator's exhaust pipe is mounted too close to the trailer's plastic underbelly.
What could happen
The generator's exhaust may melt the trailer's underbelly, increasing the risk of a fire.
