Defect

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Riverstone Fifth Wheel trailers. The solar panels may have been incorrectly connected in parallel and instead of in series, causing the wiring to overheat and melt.

Consequence

Melted wires increase the risk of a fire.

Corrective action

Dealers will inspect the wiring and replace the cable entry plate and solar controller as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 5, 2024. Owners may call Forest River Customer Service at (260) 593-2425. Forest River's number for this recall is 70-1853.
