  • Brand FOREST RIVER

What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling one model year 2015 XLR Hyperlite XLR31FDK recreational vehicle manufactured between September 30, 2014, and November 25, 2015. The vehicle is equipped with a front deck for carrying motorcycles and quad runners and an optional fueling station. The hazard is that if the fueling station nozzle is fully extended and pulled as far forward as possible, the hose may be positioned too close to the fuel burning appliance, which could allow fuel vapors to reach the flame or heating element and ignite, creating a fire risk.

The affected unit is still at the dealership and will be repaired by the dealer before delivery to the new owner, so no owner notification letter will be issued. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0437. Forest River's reference number for this recall is 45-02172015. The recall began on April 3, 2015.
