2025 Forest River Freelander recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2025 Freelander motorhomes. The Federal Placard indicates 30 seat-belted positions in the rear, when the correct number of belted positions is 3. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other than Passenger Cars" and 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
💥 The risk
Incorrect seating capacity information may lead to overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Forest River will mail owners new Federal Placards, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 8, 2024. Owners may contact customer service at 1-574-825-8602. Forest River's number for this recall is 210-1824.
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.)
