Forest River Surveyor: Electrical
Affects Forest River Surveyor · 2016 — about 4 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain travel trailers, the power wire of the slide mechanism(s) and slide rooms may have been incorrectly connected during manufacturing. As a result, the wiring and motor do not have over-current protection. This could result in an increase in amperage draw, and could lead to melting of the power wire and increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the wiring of the slide mechanism(s), and re-wire as necessary. Anti-corrosion spray will also be applied to the electrical connections.
