What is wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2027 Pause travel trailers. The fireplace installed may have incorrect clearance from the cabinet.

The risk

Incorrect fireplace clearance increases the risk of a fire.

Why equipment defects matter: Equipment defects range from incorrect labels to fire and injury risks; the consequence summary says which applies.

The remedy

Dealers will install a spacer for proper clearance between the fireplace and cabinet, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 7, 2026. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-535-2748. Forest River's number for this recall is 426-2113.

What to do

  1. Enter your VIN in NHTSA’s lookup (below) to confirm that your vehicle is included and that the repair has not already been done.
  2. Call a dealer for the brand and book the repair. Quote NHTSA campaign 26V-715 and the manufacturer’s number 426-2113.
  3. Read the consequence summary carefully and stop using the affected equipment if the notice says to.
  4. Safety recall repairs are carried out free of charge by the manufacturer’s dealers. If you already paid for this repair yourself, ask the manufacturer about reimbursement and keep your receipt.

Check by VIN

A campaign rarely covers every vehicle of a model year. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.

Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.

Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
