Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2004-2024 Cedar Creek and 2006-2024 Puma fifth wheels trailers. The overcurrent protection from the trailer battery may have been incorrectly routed, allowing the wires to be pulled out of the junction box.
A loose wire can cause a short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
Dealers will reroute the wires to the protected side of the mini-beaker, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 10, 2024. Owners may contact Puma customer service at 1-574-642-0588 or Cedar Creek customer service at 260-593-4000. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-1786.

We purchased a new fifth wheel camper on [XXX]. After we picked it up, we joined some Facebook groups related to our model and learned there is a recall associated with the model we bought. We confirmed there is an open recall (24V395) on our VIN on forest river's website [XXX] ). Upon review of the recall instructions listed online - our RV was in fact wired incorrectly and not only needs inspected but fixed. Recall 24V395 was opened on June 5, 2024 and dealer notification occurred July 14, 2024. With this in mind, our dealer should have been aware that they sold us a new RV with an open recall. Is this not illegal? Dealer was McGeorges RV - camping world company in Ashland, VA. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
