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.

Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2018 Charleston, 2017-2019 Legacy, 2017-2020 Berkshire, 2017 Coachmen Cross Country, and 2017-2020 Sportscoach motorhomes. These vehicles were built on certain FCCC XB and XC chassis that previously received an inspection-only remedy for recall 18V-763.
The rear-mounted Power Distribution Module (PDM) may have been damaged during manufacturing. This defect can result in the rear marker lights, brake lights, or turn signals not functioning. Non-functioning exterior marker lights can increase the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and Daimler Trucks dealers will replace the old Power Distribution Module with a new one free of charge. The recall began on January 18, 2021. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
