NHTSA recall 18V357000
Power Train · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Forest River Forester and Sunseeker and Coachmen Leprechaun and Freelander motorhomes. The u-bolts that secure the rear differential may not have been properly tightened, causing them to loosen over time and allowing the rear axles to shift.
Why it matters: Loose rear axle assemblies can cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the u-bolts and properly tighten or replace the u-bolts, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on June 6, 2018.
