Plain-English summary

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.

If the outside kitchen receptacles are not GFCI protected, occupants may be electrically shocked, increasing the risk of injury or death. The source text does not report any specific incidents of injury or death associated with this defect.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the standard 110V outlet in the exterior kitchen with a GFCI one. The recall was expected to begin on July 31, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8360 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
