- The defect
- Forest River, Inc (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022 Palomino Puma and Puma XLE fifth wheel and travel trailer recreational vehicles. The exterior micro kitchen griddle may be stowed while still connected to propane.
- What it can cause
- A stowed griddle connected to propane increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a bracket to prevent the griddle from being stowed when connected to the propane line, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 12, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0588. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-1494.
- 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 1,561 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 63% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 158 times before this, most recently in March 2022 as 22V143000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 24V395000 (equipment), 22V556000 (equipment), 21V784000 (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 March 25, 2022 as campaign 22V184000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
