What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2019 Glaval Entourage motorhomes and 2017-2018 Berkshire Coach Ultra motorhomes built on a Ford chassis. These vehicles are equipped with an engine block heater. The recall affects 11 vehicles in total.
The defect involves the block heater cable's splice connector, where water and contaminants may enter, causing corrosion and damage. This corrosion can result in an electrical short, overheating or melting the wiring, which increases the risk of a fire.
Ford dealers will inspect the block heater cable and replace it if damage is found. If no damage is found, the terminal connector will be packed with grease and reconnected. Repairs are free of charge. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-343-5111 or Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
