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 involves a risk-of-harm product (vehicle overload leading to crash risk) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Coachmen Galleria recreational vehicles manufactured between October 27, 2015, and August 31, 2016. The affected vehicles have an incorrect Cargo Carrying Capacity Federal placard that indicates two seat-belted locations, even though the vehicles have up to five additional designated seating areas. This discrepancy causes the listed cargo capacity to be inaccurate, meaning the vehicles fail to comply with 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

The incorrect cargo capacity information may result in the vehicle being overloaded, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will adhere a corrected Federal Placard free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8628 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
