Forest River, Inc.: 2025 Freelander Motorhomes Recalled for Incorrect Seating Capacity Labels

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 20 units of its 2025 Freelander motorhomes because the safety labels incorrectly state the vehicle's seating capacity. The labels claim there are 30 seat-belted positions in the rear of the vehicle, when there are actually only 3. Forest River will mail owners new, corrected Federal Placard labels to replace the inaccurate ones free of charge.

Risk

The incorrect label significantly overstates how many people can safely ride in the vehicle. If a driver relies on this information, they may unintentionally overload the motorhome with too many passengers or too much weight, which increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate the Federal Placard on your 2025 Forest River Freelander motorhome and check the seating capacity information for the rear of the vehicle.
  2. If the label indicates 30 seat-belted positions in the rear instead of the correct number (3), your vehicle is affected by this recall.
  3. Watch for a notification letter from Forest River, which was scheduled to be mailed around August 8, 2024, containing a new, corrected Federal Placard.
  4. Apply the new placard over the incorrect label once it arrives in the mail.
  5. If you have questions or have not received your new label, contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8602 and mention recall number 210-1824.
  6. For additional information, you may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
