What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Prime Time Wildcat fifth-wheel recreational trailers. The water heater may have been installed too close to the underside of the slideroom possibly allowing carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle.
The risk
If carbon monoxide enters the vehicle through the slideroom opening, it can increase the risk of injury.
