Forest River Recalls 2015 Dynamax Rev for Head Restraint Defect

Forest River is recalling 2015 Dynamax Rev vehicles because front head restraints may exceed safety limits, increasing injury risk in rear-end collisions.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (head restraints) that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 Dynamax Rev vehicles manufactured between November 25, 2014, and November 26, 2014. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with front seat head restraints that exceed the maximum backset measurement limit of 55mm. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 202a, "Head Restraints."

If a vehicle is struck from behind, the non-compliant head restraint may not properly limit the seat occupant's head movement rearward, which increases the risk of injury. No specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Forest River will notify owners, and Chrysler dealers will replace the front seat head restraints free of charge. The recall began on July 8, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-262-3474 ext. 212 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
