What Is a Recall — and Why Are They Common?
Recalls can span from important safety issues, such as the one regarding the gas stoves to mislabeling of safety information. With the ever-increasing complexity of vehicles along with the dizzying maze of regulation some of that can trigger a recall. But sometimes it truly is a safety item. A recall doesn’t mean the vehicle is necessarily bad, but is generally done to correct an issue discovered after it was released to the public.
It should be noted that all RVs are built from components from a wide number of suppliers. In both these cases, the issue at hand was a supplier-side issue and not the fault of Forest River. All new RVs come with information on who provided the components.
Best Practices for Owners
As an owner, it is a best practice to make a list of model and serial numbers of as many of these components as possible when the RV is newer and the labels on the components themselves are still easily readable. One way of doing so, especially with items that are exposed to the elements such as frames, axles and other critical running gear, is to photograph the serial and model numbers on the components when the labels are still readable.
