⚠️ 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.
💥 The risk
Loose rear axle assemblies can cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
