LP tank bracket problem forces Forest River motorhome recall

By Russ and Tiña De Maris

A Forest River motorhome recall falls on the heels of the discovery of potentially bad LP tank brackets. Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019-2024 Georgetown and FR3 Class A motorhomes. The liquid petroleum gas (LPG) tank mounting brackets may break, which can result in the LPG tank becoming dislodged and damaged. A damaged LPG tank increases the risk of a fire. Potentially 6,966 motorhomes could be affected.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the brackets and welds as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 23, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-206-7600. Forest River’s number for this recall is 68-1736.

Recall Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

Russ and Tiña went from childhood tent camping to RVing in the 1980s when the ground got too hard. They've been tutored in the ways of RVing (and RV repair) by a series of rigs, from truck campers, to a fifth-wheel, and several travel trailers. In addition to writing scores of articles on RVing topics, they've also taught college classes for folks new to RVing. They authored the book, RV Boondocking Basics.

Thank you, Russ and Tina! Yikes! That is a dangerous situation. Forest River does have quality control, don’t they? It seems as though adding one, or expanding the number of inspectors, number of checks, something, everything (?) should be done. It DOES seem as though Forest River has a different recall every week!?!?! My goodness! Safe travels! 🙂
