Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Dynamax Isata vehicles.

This can result in engine damage and connecting rod failure, which could potentially puncture the engine block.

A damaged engine block may leak oil, which can contact hot engine or exhaust components, increasing the risk of a fire.

Forest River will notify owners, and FCA dealers will reprogram the engine calibration software to enhance the engine warm up protection, free of charge. The recall began October 13, 2020.
