Problem Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022 Surveyor travel trailers. The fresh air intake tube length may be too short, allowing it to detach and causing the burn chamber to crack. Risk A cracked burn chamber can expose the trailer to carbon monoxide, increasing the risk of injury. Fix Dealers will install a longer fresh air intake vent tube, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 12, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-642-3119 Option 2.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 37-1496 is the number Forest River assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 22V185000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
