What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Coachmen Freelander vehicles manufactured February 14, 2014, to April 1, 2015, and 2015 Coachmen Leprechaun vehicles manufactured on June 10, 2014. The affected vehicles, manufactured on a Ford 158" wheelbase chassis with a 5.4L v-8 engine, may have a federal certification label that lists an incorrect gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr),…
Why it matters: With incorrect gvwr, gawr, and cargo carrying capacity information, the operator may overload the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners and will provide replacement labels with the corrected information, free of charge. The recall began on April 17, 2015.
