What's wrong?
The LP tray on a 2025 Forest River R-Pod travel trailer is the metal support that holds the propane tanks to the trailer chassis. The tray depends on self-tapping fasteners to keep the tank assembly fixed in place while the trailer moves, turns, and vibrates on the road.
On affected R-Pod trailers, the tray was built without the required number of fasteners. Forest River traced the issue to a manufacturing error after a routine inspection found the LP tray was not attached to the chassis the way it should be. With too few fasteners, the tray can loosen and the propane tanks can detach from the trailer.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is unlikely to get a clear sound, light, or handling clue that the tray has too few fasteners until the tank assembly has already loosened or separated.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Forest River R-Pod is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free repair: installing the correct number of fasteners so the propane tank tray stays secured.
- Remove the propane tanks until the dealer repair is complete, as Forest River advised.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. Reference recall number 24V929 when you call.
- Avoid towing the trailer with propane tanks installed until the fastener repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician inspects the propane tank tray and installs the required fasteners so the tanks stay secured to the trailer. Until that work is done, remove the propane tanks as Forest River instructs. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you paid for a related repair before the recall work, Forest River's reimbursement plan limits refunds to repairs within the scope of this defect. Submit the service invoice to Forest River's RPOD refund address for review.
