💥 Crash riskNHTSA 20V158📅 Mar 19, 2020

2016–2017 Forest River REV & 2019–2020 Lone Star Handicap Vans L1 VAN + 1 more recall: powertrain & transmission

⚠️ What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2016 Coachmen Orion, 2019-2020 Lone Star Handicap Vans, and 2016-2018 Dynamax Rev vehicles. The transmission shifter cable may separate and disconnect from the transmission, causing the vehicle to not perform shifts intended by the driver and the gear shift lever position not matching the actual transmission gear.

💥 The risk

The driver may be unaware of the actual gear position and unintended vehicle movement can occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Forest River will notify owners, and Fiat Chrysler USA dealers will replace the transmission shift cable, free of charge. The recall began April 20, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440 or Chrysler (FCA) Ram Trucks at 1-866-726-4636. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-1149.

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.)
