What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Forest River, Inc (Forest River) is recalling certain 2025 East to West Alta travel trailer vehicles. The inverter may be incorrectly wired to constant "hot" on the second battery, causing the wire to be unprotected from the battery.

The risk

An unprotected invertor wire increases the risk of fire.

The remedy

Dealers will rewire the inverter to the breaker side of the second battery, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 11, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-264-6664. Forest River's number for this recall is 501-1859.

Notes

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 nhtsa.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
