The issue
Issue: On certain RV trailers, a wire in the 7-pin trailer connector may have been wired to the wrong side of the breaker. As a result, the wire may not have proper circuit protection and could short circuit. Safety Risk: A short circuit can create a fire risk. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your RV trailer to a dealership to rewire the affected wire to the breaker.
Description (français)
Problème : Sur certaines caravanes, un fil dans le connecteur de remorque à 7 broches pourrait avoir été branché du mauvais côté du disjoncteur. Par conséquent, le fil pourrait ne pas avoir une protection de circuit adéquate et pourrait se court-circuiter. Risques pour la sécurité : Un court-circuit peut créer un risque d'incendie. Mesures correctives : Forest River doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur caravane chez un concessionnaire pour faire recâbler le fil concerné au disjoncteur.
