2005–2006 Forest River Salem Recall

Issued June 15, 2007
Issue
Hazard description
On certain fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a Suburban three burner gas range, the oven thermostat control valve may have been manufactured with incorrect internal tolerances. This can allow gas flow to the oven burner when the oven control knob is pushed in while not fully in the correct position to light the pilot. Although the gas flow is significantly reduced from the full burner rate, if the oven control knob is depressed for some time before attempting to ignite the pilot light, the excess gas in the oven could cause a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the oven thermostat control valve.
