What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (incorrect gas line material) that creates a significant risk of fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2020 EVO, Salem, and Wildwood travel trailers. The recall involves 41 units where the trailer cooktops were installed with a rubber liquid propane (LP) gas line instead of the required copper line.

The rubber hose may melt, allowing gas to enter the vehicle, which increases the risk of a fire. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Forest River has notified owners, and dealers will replace the rubber LP gas line with a copper gas line free of charge. The recall began on November 7, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-909-873-3777 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
