What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2017 Flagstaff and Rockwood trailers equipped with two air conditioners. There is may be excess slack in the wiring harness used in the air conditioner that contains a heating element.

The risk

If the wires are not tied back and properly secured away from the heating element, the wires may contact the heating element, melt and short, increasing the risk of a fire.

The fix

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a remedy kit to constrain the wires, free of charge. The recall began on November 1, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-5164. Forest River's number for this recall is 10-10062016-0254.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
