Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2018-2019 Starcraft All Star XL vehicles equipped with diesel engines and specific fuel module options (FS90301 or FS90453). The recall addresses a defect in the electric fuel heater within the fuel module.
The electric fuel heater may overheat, causing plastic components to melt and potentially catch fire. This overheating may also lead to engine stalling. A fire increases the risk of injury, while an engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuse with a 30A fuse, reverse the polarity of the wiring to the fuel heater, install a new fuel heater, and add a white dot on the fuel heater connector, free of charge. The recall began on August 28, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467.
