## What is wrong

Forest River, Inc. \(Forest River\) is recalling certain 2021 Puma travel trailers.  The outdoor cooktop may be stowed away while the propane hose is still attached and the burner is on.

If the cooktop is stowed away while the propane hose is attached and the burner is on, it will increase the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a bracket to the drawer housing the outside cooktop preventing the drawer from being closed while the propane line is still attached, free of charge.
