Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer: lpg systems
- What is wrong
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017 Palomino Columbus recreational vehicles equipped with the package to install an optional generator.

- Remedy
- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct propane supply lines, free of charge. The recall began on March 9, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1‑574‑825‑3161. Forest River's number for this recall is 410-0201207-0317.
