Forest River recalls 2023–2026 Pause travel trailers over wrong connector on solar panel wires

The wrong connector was used to secure the 12 volt solar panel wires on these travel trailers, so a wire could come loose, which may raise the risk of a fire.

What to do

Dealers will install a new connector for free, and owner letters are expected to be mailed November 28, 2026. Owners may call Forest River customer service at 1-574-535-2748 and mention recall number 426-2107.
