Filed by Forest River, Inc.. Component: Equipment. Reported 2015-03-18. An estimated 200 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2014 Palomino SolAire trailers manufactured July 1, 2014, to August 31, 2014. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured without an exterior furnace vent causing exhaust fumes to be vented into the trailer. Additionally, the lack of a furnace vent may result in a heat buildup around the furnace.
Risk
Exhaust fumes inside the trailer may result in carbon-monoxide poisoning, increasing the risk of occupant injury. A heat build up, increases the risk of a fire.
What the manufacturer will do
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install an exterior furnace vent in any affected trailer that does not have one, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in April 2015.
