What's wrong, in plain English: A part or accessory supplied with the vehicle. Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Solera, 2023-2025 Forester, and Sunseeker motorhomes. The Liquid Propane (LP) line may not be properly secured, which can cause the line to become damaged and leak.
What could happen: A propane gas leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
The fix: Dealers will install a p-clamp to secure the LP line, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 28, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-206-7600. Forest River's number for this recall is 34-1780.

- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Manufacturer hotline: 1-574-206-7600.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
