Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 XLR vehicles, specifically models T29HFS, T31FDK, T31FQSL, T30FQSL, T21FQSL, T24FQSL, T24HFS, T27HFS, T28TQDL, and T30HDS. These vehicles were manufactured between October 20, 2014, and July 14, 2015.
The recall addresses a defect in the wiring at the electrical inlet used for connecting external AC power to the trailer. During the assembly process, this wiring may have been strained, which can cause it to loosen at the inlet connector. If the wires are not properly secured, they may arc, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will rewire the inlet to relieve the wiring strain and secure the electrical wiring connections free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0437 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
