Details

What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016 Coachmen Galleria motorhomes manufactured from October 30, 2015, through February 15, 2016. The federal placards on the affected vehicles incorrectly lists the number of seatbelts as zero. Additionally, the placards did not factor in the fresh water capacity in the vehicle weight calculation and the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) is missing…

Why it matters: Without the gvwr listed on the label, the operator may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected federal placard, free of charge. The recall began on March 3, 2016.
