What's wrong?
The 3 In 1 Stove in the 2025 Forest River Vibe is the cooking appliance mounted into the trailer cabinet. It is supposed to stay secured to that cabinet while the trailer is parked, being used, or moving down the road. The cabinet mounting keeps the stove in position so the cooking surface, oven area, and surrounding cabinetry stay aligned.
On affected Vibe trailers, the stove was installed under incorrect supplier instructions for part P/N TF044E4MD-S. Forest River identified a mounting concern at the plant and later received an installation variance from the vendor. Because the mounting method was wrong, the stove does not have the intended attachment to the cabinet. That lets the appliance detach from the cabinet instead of staying fixed in place.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not count on a rattle, visible gap, or loose fastener to appear before the stove separates from the cabinet.

Not every 2025 Forest River Vibe trailer is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
For campaign 24V823, a stove that detaches during use increases the risk of injury inside the trailer. There is no warning sign listed before the stove loosens, so avoid using the stove until a Forest River dealer secures it. Repair will be free at any franchised Forest River dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Forest River Vibe is included in this recall.
- Review Forest River's owner letter, which was mailed on December 5, 2024, for the latest repair timing.
- Contact a franchised Forest River dealer and ask when the free stove securement repair that fastens the stove to the cabinet opens.
- Reference recall number 24V823 and Forest River recall 59-1860 when you call.
- Avoid using the stove until a Forest River dealer confirms it is secured to the cabinet.
What happens at the repair
Forest River has identified the repair, but the final dealer process is still under development. Once available, a Forest River technician will secure the stove to the cabinet so it stays fixed in place. The final dealer repair will be free under the recall, including parts and labor. Forest River has a general reimbursement plan on file. If you already paid for a stove securement repair tied to this recall, contact Forest River customer service and ask how to submit your repair documentation for review.
