Forest River is recalling 2019-2020 R-POD travel trailers due to a wiring issue that could cause fire if not fixed. Owners must have the wire moved from a 30A to 15A circuit.
Without the proper circuit breaker protection, the wire can melt, increasing the risk of fire.
Forest River is recalling certain 2019-2020 R-POD travel trailers because the refrigerator wiring may not have proper circuit protection, increasing fire risk. This affects owners who need to have the wire reconfigured to a safer circuit.
The wire for the refrigerator's spark igniter may be connected to a circuit breaker that allows too much current. This can cause the wire to melt, leading to fire if not corrected.

Check if your R-POD travel trailer was purchased between 2019 and 2020. The issue involves the refrigerator's spark igniter wiring connected to a 30 AMP circuit instead of the required 15 AMP circuit.
