Summary

Forest River, Inc. "Forest River" is recalling certain 2016-2018 XLR Toyhauler recreational vehicles. The fasteners for the side patio deck bar lock in these vehicles may not be strong enough, allowing the patio door to unlatch and the deck to drop unexpectedly.

Consequence

If the patio deck drops while the vehicle is in use, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fasteners with stronger ones, free of charge. The recall began on May 17, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432. Forest River's number for this recall is 45-03242017-0360.
