The short version

Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the electrical system wiring. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

Water can enter the tow modules and corrode the wiring causing issues such as rapidly flashing turn signals, loss of instrument panel display, an electrical short and possibly the deployment of seatbelt pretensioner.

WHY IT MATTERS

An electrical short can increase the risk of a fire. Turn signal, instrument cluster or seatbelt pretensioner problems can increase the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO
