Is my product affected?

2018 FOREST RIVER CROSSFIT

  • Brand FOREST RIVER

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

What happened

Forest River is recalling certain 2018 Crossfit vehicles (models CFB22CF, CFB22CFEB, and CFB22DF) built on Ford Transit chassis with a trailer tow module. Water can enter the tow modules and corrode the wiring, which may cause rapidly flashing turn signals, loss of instrument panel display, an electrical short, or possible deployment of the seatbelt pretensioner. These issues create a risk of fire and could increase the risk of a crash.

To remedy the problem, Ford or Lincoln dealers will add a drainage hole in the driver's door stepwell and incorporate a fuse into the vehicle's wiring harness at no cost. Affected owners should contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8590 or Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673 to schedule service. Forest River's recall number is 225-0647.
