Plain-English summary
Forest River, Coachmen, and Dynamax are recalling certain 2020-2021 motorhomes built on 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. Affected models are the Forest River Battisti, Forester, and Sunseeker; Coachmen Galleria; and Dynamax Isata.
The rear portion of the front fender liner may contact and chafe the brake hose, potentially causing brake fluid loss. Without brake fluid, the vehicle will require significantly greater distance to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
Owners should contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267 or their Mercedes-Benz/Freightliner Sprinter dealer to schedule an inspection. Affected brake hoses will be replaced and fender liners modified at no cost. This recall began July 8, 2020. Additional information is available by calling NHTSA's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visiting www.safercar.gov.
