2006 Forest River Lexington GT problems

What is wrong

Forest river is recalling certain my 2003-2006 motor homes, fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.

Risk

If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.

Remedy

Forest river is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1‑888‑446‑5157 or forest river at 1‑574‑389‑4600.

Recall number 08V346000 · Recall details

What is wrong

On certain class b motor homes, if the axle bottoms out against the rubber suspension snubbers, it is possible that the "u" bolts that hold the springs to the rear axle can penetrate the steel tube and come into contact with the steel liquid propane (lp) manifold.

Risk

The tube may be crushed causing a crack in the tube, and lp gas may leak causing a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the manifold and install it inside the chassis rail away from the suspension system entirely. Dealers and owners have been notified not to use the lp systems in their vehicles until the repairs can be made. Owners may contact forest river at 1‑574‑389‑4600.
