Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2021 Forest River Cardinal in Canada.
On certain motorhomes and RV trailers, the circuit board for the LED light rings on the cooktop knobs could fail. As a result, the wiring and/or LED lights could overheat and melt. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with certain Suburban cooktops.
Wiring and/or lights that overheat and melt can create the risk of a fire.
Forest River will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorhome or RV trailer to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, disable or remove the LED light rings.
Certain RV trailers were built with tires that may have a defect. As a result, the tire tread and belts could separate. If this happens, the tire could fail and suddenly lose air pressure. Note: This recall only affects trailers equipped with certain ST235/80R16 G tires. The tires are marked with plant code 1YJ, and within the date code range of 2020 - 4120. If you have tires with a different date code, please also see Transport Canada recall 2021-729.
A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your trailer to a dealer to inspect the tires. If the tires are within the date code range, they will be replaced.
On certain RV trailers, the generator compartment may not be sealed properly. As a result, exhaust fumes and carbon monoxide could enter the trailer.
A buildup of exhaust inside the trailer could cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your trailer to a dealer to inspect the generator compartment. If necessary, the dealer will apply sealant to any openings.
On certain travel trailers, the spare tire carrier was not properly attached to the travel trailer. As a result, the tire and carrier could separate from the trailer.
A spare tire carrier that falls from the trailer could become a hazard for other road users and bystanders. This could create a risk of injury and/or a crash.
Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your travel trailer to a dealer to replace the fasteners that attach the spare tire carrier.
