ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
Unprotected wiring can increase the risk of a fire.
8 safety recall campaigns, 13 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Unprotected wiring can increase the risk of a fire.
If the brakes of the trailer do not engage, it can result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

If the incorrect label causes the operator to install tires of the wrong size, vehicle handling may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Two 2018 FOREST RIVER WILDWOODs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
