Chronology :
On April 4, 2024, Forest Rivers Office of Corporate Compliance (“OCC”) received notice from Suburban of recall 24E028. OCC opened a research item the same day to begin identifying if in fact those affected had been installed into vehicles.
On April 9, 2024, and April 10, 2024, OCC found the components within certain vehicles. OCC also discovered that suspect ranges/cooktops have been installed as replacement components into earlier model year vehicles, that are prior to the scope dates stated by Suburban in their recall 24E028. Due to the scope Forest River is using as compared to the number of sold range/cooktops Suburban indicated sold to Forest River, our scope is larger, thus Forest River believes the affected population is 81%.
On April 12, 2024, Forest Rivers Corporate Recall Committee voted to recall.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
OEM CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
This Customer Notification is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the United States National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
Suburban Manufacturing has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in Slide-In Range Models that contain Red LED Backlit Knobs that were installed in recreational vehicles. The LED backlight printed circuit boards (PCB) are not fully coated. The lack of conformal coating in the connection passages between the layers of the PCB can allow liquid from the cooktop surface to accumulate which could result in a short circuit resulting in the failure of the PCB. If the PCB fails, it can be come overheated, and the polyethylene cover of the lights can melt and possibly ignite causing a fire.
WHAT WE WILL DO
Work Instruction #206346 is provided with this letter to provide the remedy process to deactivate the LED backlights of the knobs and to properly terminate the electrical connections. Suburban will provide this remedy at no cost to owners. With proper documentation, Suburban will reimburse owners per its general reimbursement policy if their range was remedied prior to the issuing of this recall.

Country : United States Chronology :
On April 4, 2024, Forest Rivers Office of Corporate Compliance (“OCC”) received notice from Suburban of recall 24E028. OCC opened a research item the same day to begin identifying if in fact those affected had been installed into vehicles. On April 9, 2024, and April 10, 2024, OCC found the components within certain vehicles. OCC also discovered that suspect ranges/cooktops have been installed as replacement components into earlier model year vehicles, that are prior to the scope dates stated by Suburban in their recall 24E028. Due to the scope Forest River is using as compared to the number of sold range/cooktops Suburban indicated sold to Forest River, our scope is larger, thus Forest River believes the affected population is 81%. On April 12, 2024, Forest Rivers Corporate Recall Committee voted to recall. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-272 Page 8 Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Suburban and Forest River will be working together to provide all parts
and labor free of charge to Consumers and Dealers. An authorized Forest River Dealer or Suburban Service Center will need to perform the remedy. The circuit for the LED lights will be eliminated. What is the Suburban and Forest River Customer Service Phone Numbers? SUBURBAN (574) 247-9235 OPTION 5
