Forest River recalls 2020 Surveyor trailers with specific furnaces that may detach, causing carbon monoxide buildup and poisoning risk. Owners must contact customer service for free repairs.
If the furnace moves within the cabinet, it may detach from the exhaust vent, possibly causing a build up of carbon monoxide inside the vehicle, increasing the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
Forest River is recalling certain 2020 Surveyor recreational trailers that have a furnace which may move inside the cabinet, potentially causing carbon monoxide buildup. This poses a risk of poisoning or death if the furnace detaches from the exhaust vent.
The furnace may not be securely fastened inside the cabinet, allowing it to move freely. If it moves, it can detach from the exhaust vent, leading to carbon monoxide buildup inside the vehicle. This increases the risk of poisoning or death.
Owners of 2020 Forest River Surveyor recreational trailers with the specific 30K BTU furnace are affected. Those who use the furnace without proper securement are at higher risk.
