RECALL 17V-799 INDICATES 2016-2018 MOTOR HOMES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. WE HAVE PROOF FROM PHOTOS OF EARLIER UNITS FROM AS EARLY AS 2014 BUT COULD BE AS EARLY AS 2012 AND ALSO OTHER MODELS OF FOREST RIVER MOTOR HOMES SUCH AS CHARLESTON, ETC COULD USE THESE SAME COMPONENTS AND WERE MODIFIED TO PERMIT ASSEMBLY WITH THE CURRENT ENCLOSURE BUSS BAR AND POTENTIALLY FACE THE SAME DANGER OF CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARCHING WITH THE POTENTIAL RISK OF FIRE AS STATED IN THAT RECALL.
Chassis
No chassis mapping is recorded for this model year. Mappings come only from recall notices that name the chassis, so this is a gap in the record, not a statement about the coach.
Canadian notices
Transport Canada publishes its own notices with their own IDs. They are separate records from the U.S. campaigns above and are never merged with them.
