What is wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Surveyor recreational trailers, models SVT248BHLE and SVT248BHLE-OR.

What can happen
If the refrigerator overheats, the cooling tubes may fail, increasing the risk of a fire.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a fan assembly, free of charge. The recall began on April 9, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-573-642-3119. Forest River's number for this recall is 3747-0667.
