Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2018 Georgetown recreational vehicles, specifically models GTA36D7 and GTA34P7. The recall addresses an electrical system defect where 18-gauge wires are connected to a 30-amp circuit breaker.
The 18-gauge wires are not rated to handle the potential amp draw of the 30-amp circuit. This mismatch can cause the wires to melt, which increases the risk of a fire. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text, but the recall covers the specified 2018 models.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will connect the 18-gauge wiring to an additional circuit breaker that will be installed free of charge. The recall began on February 20, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-206-7600 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
