Forest River recalls some trailers: Cooktop flame may become inverted

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 Coachmen Viking and Clipper travel trailers. The cooktop may not be isolated properly from the furnace return air, which can cause the flame to become inverted.

An inverted flame can increase the risk of a fire, which could lead to injury.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a panel and seal it, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 21, 2021. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-269-467-4600. Forest River’s number for this recall is 121-1305.
