NHTSA's recall notice

As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 20V591000.

Defect description

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Dynamax Isata vehicles.

This can result in engine damage and connecting rod failure, which could potentially puncture the engine block.

Safety consequence

A damaged engine block may leak oil, which can contact hot engine or exhaust components, increasing the risk of a fire.

Manufacturer remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and FCA dealers will reprogram the engine calibration software to enhance the engine warm up protection, free of charge. The recall began October 13, 2020.
