Recall 15V-369: Equipment

Reported Jun 12, 2015 · 249 vehicles affected · Forest River, Inc.

Problem: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015 Shasta Airflyte SAT16 and SAT19 recreational travel trailers manufactured September 15, 2014, to October 22, 2014.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Risk: If the operator overloads the trailer due to the incorrect information on the Certification label, the tires may fail suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected label, free of charge. The recall began on July 9, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8717. Forest River's number for this recall is 54-06052015-0047.

Recent 2015 Shasta Airflyte complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Structure · reported Nov 30, 2022
The entire front panel of my Shasta Airflyte travel trailer is separating from the pine bracing where the dinette is, creating a 2” gap at the floor where rodents and water could get in. It appears the screws meant to attach the panel to the bracing are sheared off or improperly installed. The separating front panel is resting on the propane tank which could create a safety hazard. I believe there is a technical service bulletin issued from the manufacturer to address this defect, but it should be noted that this is still an ongoing problem. The trailer is available for inspection, but…
Structure · reported Nov 28, 2022
The Shasta Airflyte trailer is clad in aluminum metal sheathing called a skin. The metal skins on the doors are held by a rubber spline molding but no screws or fasteners. The trailer door needs a decent amount of force to open/close which creates some flex so the metal skin gets loose and had popped out over the spline in a couple places. I noticed it a couple months ago but shoved it back under the spline as intended, and that seemed to fix it. The spline molding seemed to be in normal working condition, there weren’t obvious signs of wear or failure, I just think it’s a bad design and…
Structure · reported Nov 26, 2018
Seams on the exterior have leaked allowing water to get in from day one. Electrical in walls is a potential danger. Shasta claims no responsibility and will not repair any water damage.
Structure · reported Feb 20, 2018
Concerned that the chassis, floor and front wall may have been inconsistently fastened together. Tsb: 53-0597 in place with 2 "kits" recommended. With recommend fix I AM worried about all the weight and torque that would be applied to a bolt on fix. Shasta/forest river said that a flexing frame is ok and gaps are normal. Concerned for my safety and safety of others when we tow. Informed of problem approximately oct. 2017.
Structure · at 300 miles · reported Nov 24, 2017
The contact owns a 2015 shasta airflyte. The contact stated that pieces of the frame (Where it was welded) had detached from the vehicle. The torque/frame was not taken to the dealer. The shasta/riverforest manufacturer is working with the frame manufacture to provide a fix for the body/frame; however, a remedy had not yet been determined. The failure mileage was approximately 300.
