Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2020 model year Shasta Phoenix, Coachmen Chaparral, Chaparral Lite, and Chaparral X-Lite recreational trailers. The recall involves 2,114 units where the outside kitchen may be equipped with a standard outlet receptacle instead of a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected outlet.
