Safety Issue:

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016 Coachmen Galleria motorhomes manufactured from October 30, 2015, through February 15, 2016.

Potential Risk:
Without the GVWR listed on the label, the operator may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
