2015 FOREST RIVER XLR

  • Brand FOREST RIVER

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2015 XLR Nitro XLT31FQSL recreational vehicles manufactured between July 21, 2014, and January 31, 2015, that have a garage in the rear and an optional fueling station. When the fueling nozzle is fully extended and pulled forward as far as possible, the hose may be positioned too close to the fuel burning appliance, which could allow fuel vapors to reach the appliance and create a fire risk.

To remedy this issue, Forest River dealers will relocate the fueling station box and hose nozzle to a safe distance from the fuel burning appliance at no cost to owners. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0437. The recall number is 45-02102015, and the recall notification process began on March 30, 2015.
