The defect

The risk
The incorrect latch bar may make it difficult or impossible to correctly install a child seat, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the latch bar, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 18, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at (620) 888-3310. Forest River's number for this recall is 551-1851.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
