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.

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.
