What's wrong?
The rubber liquid propane (LP) gas line in a 2019-2020 Forest River Georgetown motorhome carries fuel to the refrigerator burner. That burner chamber is the metal area where propane burns to cool the refrigerator when it is running on LP gas. The gas line is supposed to stay routed away from that hot metal surface.
On affected Georgetown motorhomes, Forest River found that the LP supply line was routed inconsistently inside the refrigerator cabinet during manufacturing. In some motorhomes, the rubber line sits too close to the refrigerator burner chamber. Heat from that area can damage the line, and a damaged LP line can allow propane to leak.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should not rely on smell, visible damage, or refrigerator performance to confirm whether their motorhome has the unsafe routing.

A matching 2019-2020 Forest River Georgetown does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the LP line touches the burner assembly, heat can melt the hose and cause a gas leak, increasing the risk of a fire. There is no warning sign before failure, so schedule the recall repair soon and have the LP line routing checked before relying on the appliance. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2020 Forest River Georgetown is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free LP-line reroute that moves the propane hose away from the refrigerator burner chamber.
- Bring the recall notice if Forest River mailed one, and reference recall number 20V030 when you call.
- Avoid using the refrigerator on propane until the LP line is rerouted, since contact with the burner assembly can melt the hose and cause a gas leak.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician reroutes the rubber LP gas line so it is kept away from the refrigerator's metal burner chamber. The repair is free under the recall, with parts and labor covered. If you already paid for a repair tied to this LP line routing issue, Forest River has a general reimbursement plan on file. Contact Forest River customer service or ask the service desk how that plan applies to your prior repair paperwork.
