Defect description

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2017 Georgetown motorhomes manufactured May 17, 2016, through May 9, 2016. These vehicles were accidentally equipped with two seat belt assemblies on the rear-facing dinette seat, allowing the vehicle to transport up to eight passengers instead of six passengers as the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) was based on.

Safety risk

With the extra passengers, the GVWR may be exceeded and the vehicle may be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Forest River has notified owners, and dealers will remove the extra seat belt assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on July 5, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-206-7600. Forest River's number for this recall is 15-05312016-0204.
