What this means for you

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 XLR Nitro XLT31FQSL recreational vehicles manufactured between July 21, 2014, and January 31, 2015. These vehicles are configured with a garage in the rear of the trailer and an optional fueling station.

The recall addresses a defect where the fueling station nozzle, if fully extended and pulled as far forward as possible, may be too close to a fuel-burning appliance. This proximity may allow fuel vapors to reach the appliance and ignite, creating an increased risk of a vehicle fire.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the fueling station box and hose nozzle to a safe distance from the fuel-burning appliance free of charge. The recall began on March 30, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0437 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
