EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 East to West Alta Travel Trailers. The LP/CO detector was installed in the incorrect location.
- What it can cause
- Incorrect placement of the LP/CO detector can impair the detection of a propane leak, increasing the risk of a fire, or the presence of carbon monoxide, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a new detector in the correct location, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 24, 2021. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-264-6664. Forest River's number for this recall is 501-1366.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 10 vehicles this is a small campaign: 92% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
East to West vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 2 times before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V754000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V243000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Forest River, Inc. with NHTSA on June 11, 2021 as campaign 21V444000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
