- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2025 RPOD RPT197 and RPT205 travel trailers. The propane tank tray may be missing the required number of fasteners, allowing the tanks to detach.
- What it can cause
- A detached tank can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised to remove the tanks until the repair is performed. Dealers will install the correct number of fasteners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 3, 2025. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-3119. Forest River's number for this recall is 80-1877.
- 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 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 116 vehicles this is a small campaign: 68% 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, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
R-POD vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in August 2024 as 24V616000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 24V616000 (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 December 13, 2024 as campaign 24V929000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
