Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 Georgetown Class A motor homes. The recall addresses a failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 302, "Flammability of Interior Materials." Specifically, the fabrics used in window treatments, window valances, drapery, and bed spreads are not treated with flame retardant.

The defect poses a safety risk because the untreated fabric could burn faster in the event of a fire, increasing the risk of injuries to occupants. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text, but the recall applies to the 2011 model year Georgetown vehicles.

Forest River will send replacement parts to dealers with fabric already treated with flame retardant. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on January 3, 2011. Owners may contact Forest River at 1-574-206-7605 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
