Defect

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020 Work and Play fifthwheel (WPF33W17) trailers. The 12V and 110V cables for an optional generator may not be isolated from objects stored in the generator compartment, which can result in an electrical short.

Safety risk

An electrical short can increase the risk of fire.

Remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will isolate the wires in the generator compartment so that they can't short, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 31, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-6302. Forest River's number for this recall is 31-1036.
