- Summary
- On certain fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with suburban three burner match light gas ranges, the oven thermostat control valve can allow gas flow to the oven burner when the oven control knob is pushed in and not fully in the correct position to light the pilot.
- Consequence
- If the oven control knob was depressed for some time before lighting the pilot light, the excess gas in the oven could cause a flash at the opening of the oven, possibly resulting in personal injury.
- Remedy
- Forest river is working with suburban to replace the oven thermostat control free of charge. The recall began on March 30, 2007. Owners may contact suburban at 1-423-775-2131, ext. 1, or forest river at at 1-503-831-5410.

Has your Forest River been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Forest River dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
