Forest River recalls 2026 Sabre trailers with griddles that can overheat when stowed while connected to LPG, risking fire. Owners must have griddles resecured by dealers.
Stowing the griddle while connected to the LPG increases the risk of a fire.
Forest River is recalling certain 2026 Sabre fifth wheel trailers because the griddle may be installed incorrectly, allowing it to be stowed while still connected to LPG gas. This increases fire risk during normal use.
The griddle can be stowed while still connected to LPG gas, which may cause overheating and fire if the griddle is not properly secured to the trailer shelf.
Owners of 2026 Forest River Sabre fifth wheel trailers with the griddle installed incorrectly are affected. Trailer users who store the griddle while connected to LPG gas are at higher risk.
Check if your 2026 Forest River Sabre trailer has the griddle installed incorrectly. The issue was reported in owner notifications mailed July 11, 2025.
