- Filed Jul 30, 2026Failure Jan 13, 2026Plymouth, MAElectrical systemFire1 injured
The faulty wiring of the battery caused it to catch fire. The vehicle is currently available for inspection, at the dealership. We have the fire report, the independent fire inspection report, and the recall that was mailed to us by the manufacturer, as well as the inspection and estimate from the insurance company. My husband and infant daughter were inside when it caught fire directly under the propane tanks. There were no warning signs, the neighbor saw smoke from the window, that was the only warning that was had.
NHTSA complaint 11753804 - Filed Jul 22, 2026Failure Sep 11, 20252 milesGrants Pass, ORRecreational vehicle/trailer, Electric water heater, Structure
The contact owns a 2025 Forest River Wildwood. The contact stated that the door on the trailer could be wiggled from the inside and was not properly secured to the trailer. The contact saw sawdust near the heating system after removing the propane service cover, and the water heater overheated. The front left side of the trailer was fractured due to the screws rusting and fracturing from water leaking into the trailer. The contact stated that there was water and wet surfaces near all the windows. The contact stated that the failure started since the trailer was purchased, placing it on land as a place of residency, and the trailer never moved afterwards. The trailer had not been taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issues. The approximate failure mileage was 2.
