Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling one model year 2015 XLR Hyperlite XLR31FDK recreational vehicle. The affected unit was manufactured between September 30, 2014, and November 25, 2015, and is equipped with a front deck for carrying motorcycles and quad runners, as well as an optional fueling station.
The recall addresses a potential fire hazard. If the fueling station nozzle is fully extended and pulled as far forward as possible, the hose may be too close to a fuel-burning appliance. This proximity may allow fuel vapors released during fueling to reach the flame or heating element of the appliance, potentially igniting and increasing the risk of a fire.
The single unit affected by this campaign is still at the dealership and will be repaired by the dealer before delivery to the new owner. Consequently, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this campaign. The recall began on April 3, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0437 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
