Details

What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 Forester 2401bsd, FR3 f3a32dsf, Georgetown gta36k7, 2022-2023 East To West Entrada, 2023 East To West Alta, Coachmen Apex, Brookstone, Chaparral and Chaparral Lite, Forest River Crusader, Sanibel, Shasta Phoenix, Coachmen Spirit, and East To West Tandara vehicles. The solar panel mounting hardware may become loose and pull through the slot in the panel.

Why it matters: Loose hardware can cause the solar panels to detach from the vehicle during transit, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will install additional hardware to the existing panel and install a secondary holding bracket, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 5, 2023.
