2025 Forest River Freelander: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 24V581000 · 20 units potentially affected · filed Aug 6, 2024
What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2025 Freelander motorhomes. The Federal Placard indicates 30 seat-belted positions in the rear, when the correct number of belted positions is 3. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other than Passenger Cars" and 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Why it matters
Incorrect seating capacity information may lead to overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Forest River will mail owners new Federal Placards, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 8, 2024. Owners may contact customer service at 1-574-825-8602. Forest River's number for this recall is 210-1824.
