Forest River Recalls 2014-2016 Legacy Motorhomes for Seat Belt Defect

Forest River is recalling 2014-2016 Legacy motorhomes because the shoulder belt may rest too low, increasing injury risk in a crash.

What this means for you

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 addresses a structural vehicle defect (seat belt anchorage) that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but the source text does not report any specific 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 2014-2016 Legacy motorhomes, specifically models 340BH, 340KP, and 360RB. These vehicles were manufactured between September 12, 2013, and September 25, 2015. The recall involves 285 affected vehicles.

The defect involves seat belts where the shoulder belt may rest at or below the shoulder of the occupant. This configuration fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 209 and 210. If the shoulder belt rests too low on the torso, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install new seat belt systems free of charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners on January 13, 2016, and the recall began on February 1, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-293-6137 or 1-574-295-2117, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
