Forest River Travel Trailers LED Backlight Circuit Board Fire Risk

Forest River and Dynamax are recalling multiple 2018–2024 travel trailer models due to LED backlight circuit boards in cooktop ranges that may overheat and create a fire risk. Dealers will disconnect and remove the LED backlight wiring at no charge.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The hazard involves fire risk from an electrical component failure. Although no injuries or deaths are reported in the source text, the risk-of-harm nature of a potential electrical fire in a travel trailer warrants a High severity classification per the rubric.
