Forest River recalls 2017-2020 Coachmen Chapparal Lite trailers with non-GFCI kitchen outlets. Unprotected outlets may cause electric shock, injury or death. Owners must replace with GFCI outlets by July 31, 2019.
If the outside kitchen receptacles are not GFCI protected, occupants may be electrically shocked, increasing the risk of injury or death.
Forest River is recalling 2017-2020 Coachmen Chapparal Lite trailers that have standard kitchen outlets instead of GFCI-protected ones. This poses a risk of electric shock, injury, or death if someone touches the outlet while it's live. Affected owners must get a GFCI outlet installed by the end of July 2019.
Standard kitchen outlets without GFCI protection can allow electric current to flow through a person if they touch the outlet while it's live. This could cause electric shock, injury, or death if someone is in contact with the outlet during normal use.
Owners of 2017-2020 Coachmen Chapparal Lite trailers with standard kitchen outlets are affected. Trailer users who cook or plug in appliances near the kitchen outlet are at higher risk of shock.
Check if your 2017-2020 Coachmen Chapparal Lite trailer has a standard kitchen outlet instead of a GFCI-protected one. The recall covers trailers sold between 2017 and 2020.
