What’s wrong with it?
A flammable shower curtain may further fuel a fire, increasing the risk of injury.
Forest River, Inc.
(Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2013-2017 Dynamax and Coachmen Pursuit recreational vehicles and 2016-2017 Freelander and Orion recreational vehicles.
The affected vehicles are equipped with shower curtains that may not adequately resist catching fire in the presence of an ignition source.
