Manufacturer campaign 225-02102016-0134 · Owners notified March 3, 2016 · Vehicles built October 30, 2015 – February 15, 2016 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016 Coachmen Galleria motorhomes manufactured from October 30, 2015, through February 15, 2016.

Safety consequence

Without the GVWR listed on the label, the operator may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy
