Manufacturer: Forest River, Inc.

SUMMARY:
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling one model year 2015 XLR Hyperlite XLR31FDK recreational vehicle manufactured September 30, 2014, to November 25, 2015, and equipped with a front deck for carrying motorcycles and quad runners and an optional fueling station. If the fueling station nozzle is fully extended and pulled as far forward as possible, the hose may be too close to the fuel burning appliance to prevent the fuel vapors from igniting.
CONSEQUENCE:
If the vapors released by fueling a vehicle stored in the trailer is able to reach the flame or heating element of a fuel burning appliance it may ignite, increasing the risk of a fire.
REMEDY:
Forest River will notify the owner, and a dealer will remove the fueling station, hose, pump, and nozzle, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in March 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0437. Forest River's number for this recall is 45-02172015.
NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
