Recall 17V-095: 2017 Palomino Columbus
Forest River, Inc. recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Feb 13, 2017, covering about 5 vehicles.
The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017 Palomino Columbus recreational vehicles equipped with the package to install an optional generator. The liquid propane (LP) supply hose for the generator may be too small, and, as a result, the stove may not have a sufficient supply of propane to keep the burner(s) lit.
The risk
If the burner(s) cannot stay lit, after the flame extinguishes, propane may continue to flow into the vehicle, increasing the risk of a fire or explosion when the stove range is re-ignited.
The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct propane supply lines, free of charge. The recall began on March 9, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-3161. Forest River's number for this recall is 410-0201207-0317.
Notes
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.safercar.gov.
