Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 Sunseeker and Lexington motor homes manufactured between November 10, 2009, and June 17, 2010. The recall involves 66 vehicles that fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 302, which governs the flammability of interior materials. The defect exists because the interior fabric was not treated with the correct flame retardant before the vehicles were shipped.
The safety risk associated with this defect is that the fabric could burn faster if a fire occurs, potentially causing injury. No specific injuries or deaths have been reported in the source text.
Dealers will perform the corrective action free of charge by replacing slip covers or cushions if necessary and treating the fabric with a flame retardant to ensure compliance. The safety recall was expected to begin on or about September 15, 2010. Owners may contact Forest River at 574-206-7605 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
