## What is wrong

Forest River, Inc. \(Forest River\) is recalling certain 2018 Surveyor recreational trailers, models SVT248BHLE and SVT248BHLE\-OR.  The refrigerator in the slideroom may have been installed without an air cycling fan to cool the refrigerator parts, which can cause the refrigerator cooling tubes to fail.


## What can happen

If the refrigerator overheats, the cooling tubes may fail, increasing the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a fan assembly, free of charge.  The recall began on April 9, 2018.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1\-573\-642\-3119.  Forest River's number for this recall is 3747\-0667.
