What's wrong?
The Grey Stone Griddle in the 2022 Forest River Puma is part of the exterior micro kitchen. It is meant to be used outside the trailer, then disconnected from LP gas and stowed in its tray when cooking is done. The tray is supposed to prevent the griddle from being put away while the propane connection is still attached.
On affected Puma trailers, the exterior griddle tray was revised for a substitute griddle that was not used. With the revised tray and the original griddle, the griddle can be slid back into storage while still connected to LP gas. Forest River corrected the tray by returning it to the earlier design, which stops the griddle from being stowed with the gas line connected.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners are not expected to hear, smell, or see a clear signal from the tray before the griddle is stored in the wrong condition.

What's the safety risk?
A stowed griddle connected to the propane line increases the risk of a fire. No warning sign is identified, so treat the propane connection as the risk point and keep the griddle disconnected when it is stowed. Schedule the bracket installation soon. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.

- Contact a franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free bracket installation that keeps the exterior griddle from being stowed while connected to propane.
- Bring the recall notice Forest River mailed, or reference recall number 22V184 when you call.
- Keep the griddle disconnected from propane before stowing it until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician installs a bracket that keeps the exterior micro kitchen griddle from being stowed while it is still connected to the propane line. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you paid out of pocket for a repair within this recall's scope, submit the service invoice to Forest River's warranty manager for refund review. The dealer still needs to inspect or perform this recall so the correct bracket and procedure are used.
