Forest River is recalling certain 2014-2015 Coachmen RV Cross Country and Encounter recreational vehicles, and 2014-2018 Coachmen RV Mirada and Mirada Select recreational vehicles equipped with the residential refrigerator option instead of the standard refrigerator, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
If the energized positive wire and negative wire make contact, the wires may sort circuit and possibly melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
The unused, but powered, wiring for the standard refrigerator was left with exposed wire ends.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will disconnect the positive and negative wires from the battery, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on Aug. 21.
Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8212. Forest River’s number for this recall is 310-06212017-0455.
Lance Camper Mfg. is recalling certain 2018 Lance Travel Trailers equipped with adjustable utility receivers sold as optional or aftermarket equipment. The receivers may have insufficient welds and, as a result, things connected to the receiver such as a bicycle rack may not be properly positioned.
If components such as a bicycle rack are not properly supported, they may contact the road, possibly resulting in road debris, increasing the risk of a crash.
Lance Camper has notified owners, and the owners will be refunded for their purchase once the receiver is returned. As an option, customers may instead get a bike rack that goes on the front of the travel trailer, free of charge. The recall began on May 26. Owners may contact Lance Camper customer service at 1-661-949-3322.
Lakota Corp., which manufactures horse trailers with living quarters, is recalling certain 2018 Colt trailers. The furnace flue may not have been installed properly and, as a result, the furnace combustion system may not vent to the outside of the trailer living quarters.
If the furnace does not vent properly, a build up of carbon monoxide may occur within the trailer, increasing the risk of injury or death.
Lakota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailers and confirm that the furnace flue is installed properly, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 28. Owners may contact Lakota customer service at 1-574- 848-1636 or service@lakotatrailers.com.
