What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the defect could result in 'serious injury or death' due to metal fragments striking occupants, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury' reports or structural vehicle defects involving high-risk components.
Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007-2014 Solera and Coachmen Prism vehicles built on Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter chassis. The recall addresses a defect in the driver's frontal air bag inflator module.
Upon deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
Forest River will notify owners, and either Mercedes-Benz or Freightliner dealers will replace the driver frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. Parts are not currently available. Interim notices were sent on June 23, 2016, and a second notice will be sent when remedy parts are available. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-877-496-3691 or the Sprinter/Takata hotline at 1-877-496-3691.
