Safety recalls image

The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA): 

  • Forest River is recalling certain 2022 Coachmen Catalina travel trailers. The panel that separates the furnace from the cooktop was not sealed, which could result in an inverted cooktop flame. An inverted flame can increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 101 vehicles are affected by the recall.
  • Forest River is recalling certain 2021-2022 XLR Toy Hauler recreational vehicles. The protective panel that separates the furnace and furnace components from the mid-deck cargo area is missing. Cargo could contact the furnace wiring and other components, resulting in an electrical short and increasing the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 125 vehicles are affected by the recall.
  • Trail King Industries is recalling certain 2015-2020 TK70AACS, TK80AACS, TK85ACS, and AACS-38 trailers. The rear sliding-axle suspension beams may contact the frame reinforcement and crack, possibly resulting in the suspension beams coming loose or detaching from the frame bracket. Loose or detached suspension beams can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 209 vehicles are affected by the recall.
  • Triple E Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain 2015 Free Spirit, 2015-2018 Unity, 2015-2016 Libero, 2015-2018 Serenity, and Wonder recreational vehicles. Please see attached 573 for a complete list of model numbers. The refrigerator exhaust vents directly onto the wood frame and surfaces, which can overheat the wood. An overheated wood frame could ignite and cause a fire. NHTSA says potentially 2,056 vehicles are affected by the recall.
