2000–2001 Forest River Motorhome recall: seat belt
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: motor homes equipped with safety belt assemblies produced by am-safe. On some seat belts, the buckle and connector may unlatch during a collision.
💥 The risk
Serious injury or death could occur if the vehicle occupant is not properly restrained.
🔧 The fix
Am-safe notified forest river customers to return their vehicle to an authorized dealer to have the seat belts repaired free of charge. Am-safe is conducting the owner notification for this campaign. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact am-safe commercial products at 219-266-8330.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
