7K Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Dec 6, 2024
Safety Issue:

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2009-2017 Georgetown Class A motorhomes. The amber turn signal lens has an undersized reflective surface. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Potential Risk:
Inadequately reflective turn signals can make it difficult for other drivers to see when the vehicle intends to turn, increasing the risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
The remedy is currently under development. Interim owner notification letters were mailed January 6, 2025. A second letter will be sent once remedy is available. Owners may call Forest River customer service at 1-574-206-7600. Forest River's number for this recall is 68-1875.
Additional Details:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
