2000 Forest River 34ck-Ts recalls & complaints
Source: NHTSA, updated daily. Last checked 2026-10-18. Recalls apply to specific VINs — run your VIN to confirm.
1 safety recall, most serious first
1. Fuel system
What's wrong, in plain English: Fuel lines, tank or pump. Fuel problems usually mean a leak, and leaks mean fire risk. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH SLIDE-OUT ROOMS THAT HOUSE THE KITCHEN RANGE AND REFRIGERATOR. A LIQUID PROPANE (LP) GAS HOSE CONNECTS THE MAIN LP GAS MANIFOLD TO THE GAS FIRED APPLIANCES IN THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM. THE CONNECTION OF THE HOSE TO A TEE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT PUTS A ROTATIONAL STRESS ON THE CRIMPED CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FITTING THAT CONNECTS TO THE TEE AND THE HOSE ITSELF.
What could happen: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN LEAKAGE OF LP GAS, INCREASING THE RISK OF FIRE.
The fix: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A MANIFOLD THAT WILL GO INTO THE REFRIGERATOR ANCHORING THIS TO THE FLOOR, THEN ATTACHING A HOSE WITH A HIGH COMPRESSION END FITTING TO A BRASS FITTING. THE HOSE WILL THEN FLEX SIDE TO SIDE RATHER THAN ROTATIONALLY.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 2000 34CK-TS.
- Book a repair at any authorized Forest River dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 00V060000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
