Recreational vehicles with incorrect automatic parking function manual
Forest River, Coachmen, and Dynamax recreational vehicles have an Operator's Manual that incorrectly describes the automatic parking function, potentially causing drivers to rely on it incorrectly and risking vehicle rollaway or movement.
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 manual contains a labeling/documentation error that creates a risk of vehicle rollaway or crash if drivers rely on the incorrect description. No injuries or illnesses have been reported. This fits the rubric criterion for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, warranting a High severity score.
Plain-English summary
