EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022 Surveyor travel trailers. The fresh air intake tube length may be too short, allowing it to detach and causing the burn chamber to crack.
- What it can cause
- A cracked burn chamber can expose the trailer to carbon monoxide, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a longer fresh air intake vent tube, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 12, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-642-3119 Option 2.
- 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 74 vehicles this is a small campaign: 73% 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, 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 one other recall published here: 22V556000 (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 22V185000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
