2011 Forest River Georgetown recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong

The fabrics used in window treatments, window valances, drapery, and bed spreads are not treated with flame retardant.
💥 The risk
Failure to have the fabric treated with flame retardant in the event of a fire could cause the fabric to burn faster increasing the risk of injuries to occupants.
🔧 The fix
Forest river will be sending replacement parts to the dealers with fabric already treated with flame retardant. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on january 3, 2011. Owners may contact forest river at 1-574-206-7605.
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.)
