Forest River is recalling 53 model year 2020 Cherokee trailers, models CKT16BF-D, CKT16BFH-D, CKT16GR-D and CKT16GRH-D.

The protective paneling may not have been installed around the distribution panel, allowing the distribution panel wiring to be exposed in a storage compartment, which can lead to damage to the panel and wiring.

Damaged distribution panel wiring can increase the risk of electrical shock or fire.

What to do

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a divider in the storage compartment to ensure the distribution panel wiring is protected free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin October 30, 2019.

Owners may contact Forest River customer service at (260) 499-2100. Forest River's number for this recall is 17D-1089.
