This is an independent copy of the official notice, kept so you can see what changed. CarsMultiverse is not a safety authority: to act on this recall, use the authority’s own version at NHTSA, or the official register for your country (linked at the foot of this page).
What the authority says can happen if this is not fixed: “Unvented exhaust fumes increase the risk of injury from carbon monoxide poisoning.”

What the notice says today
The defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2027 Vibe recreational trailers. The furnace exhaust may not be correctly attached to the outside flue, allowing carbon monoxide to buildup inside the passenger cabin.
The consequence
Unvented exhaust fumes increase the risk of injury from carbon monoxide poisoning.
The remedy
Dealers will reposition the furnace, free of charge. Dealers were notified on September 1, 2026. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-327-2716.
What it said before
