    Exterior Lighting / Turn Signal

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2009-2017 Georgetown Class A motorhomes. The amber turn signal lens has an undersized reflective surface. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Inadequately reflective turn signals can make it difficult for other drivers to see when the vehicle intends to turn, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the turn signal, and bulb, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 11, 2025. Owners may call Forest River customer service at 1-574-206-7600. Forest River's number for this recall is 68-1875.

The adhesive that bonds the vented portion of the window may fail.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Structure / Emergency / Escape/Egress/Exit

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Georgetown recreational vehicles, model GTA369XLF, manufactured from December 8, 2014, through March 22, 2016. A vented window was installed in the rear wall of the vehicle instead of a secondary egress window.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Without a secondary egress window, occupants may be trapped in the event of an emergency, increasing the risk of injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016 Forest River FR3 and Georgetown, and Coachmen Mirada and Pursuit recreational vehicles manufactured August 7, 2015, to October 22, 2015.
