Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2003-2018 Forest River Berkshire, Charleston, Rockport, Cedar Creek, Cherokee, Riverstone, Salem, Sandpiper, Sierra, Vengeance, Wildcat, Wildwood, XLR Boost, Cargo Mate, Continental Cargo, motorhomes, recreational trailers, toyhaulers, cargo trailers and restroom trailers and 2009-2018 Coachmen Mirada, Pursuit, Concord, Leprechaun, Freelander, Orion and Prism motorhomes, 2009-2017 Coachmen Apex and Catalina recreational trailers, and 2013-2017 Shasta Oasis and Revere recreational trailers, equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Riverstone Legacy fifth wheel recreational trailers manufactured October 7, 2016, to October 18, 2016. The spare tire and rim combination on the affected vehicles may be incompatible with the disk-brake hubs, preventing the rim from mounting flat and flush to the hub face.
I own a 2017 Forest River RiverStone fifth-wheel RV equipped with Lippert 3000 Series frameless windows. Two windows of the same style have come loose and fallen out while the RV was being towed. This creates a serious safety hazard for occupants and other motorists from falling glass and road debris. My October 27, 2023, Lippert receipt identifies the replacement window as part V000341342, model 3000 FVD, F300-43207, measuring 48 x 24 inches, with insulated tempered glass and a black frame. I am concerned about a possible adhesive bonding defect between the opening glass section and its hinge. Forest River advised that my RV does not show as covered under the recall they checked and directed me to contact Lippert. A replacement now costs approximately $1,550, compared with $728.95 for the window itself in 2023. I request that NHTSA investigate these repeated failures and determine whether the windows are affected by an existing recall or require additional safety action. I can provide my purchase receipt, photographs, and correspondence with Forest River.
