2015 Forest River Georgetown recalls

Recall 24V-913: Exterior Lighting

Reported Dec 6, 2024 · 6,963 vehicles affected · Forest River, Inc.

Problem: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2009-2017 Georgetown Class A motorhomes. The amber turn signal lens has an undersized reflective surface. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk: Inadequately reflective turn signals can make it difficult for other drivers to see when the vehicle intends to turn, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the turn signal, and bulb, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 11, 2025. Owners may call Forest River customer service at 1-574-206-7600. Forest River's number for this recall is 68-1875.

The adhesive that bonds the vented portion of the window may fail.

Risk: Adhesive failure may cause the vent portion of the window to detach, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the windows, and replace the vent if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 2, 2021. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8600. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-1380.

Risk: Without a secondary egress window, occupants may be trapped in the event of an emergency, increasing the risk of injury or death.

Fix: Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will remove the vented window and install an egress window, free of charge. The recall began on May 10, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-206-7600. Forest River's number for this recall is 15-03232016-0151.

The fiberglass roof is separated on the passenger side. The separation is above the passenger side window, approximately 2 feet from the outer edge of the roof. There is also a crunchy sound when pressed against the coach. This area is not any of the curved outer edge.
Structure · at 14,000 miles · reported Sep 7, 2018
The mid entry door was locked and would not open. Crawled into the rv and had to take the door lock apart in order to open. This took 30 plus minutes and if a child had been locked in or if there were a fire the situation would be life threatening. Checked the lock and the door locking shaft broken in half. Photo attached that shows broken shaft. My rv is now with poulsbo rv to be fixed.
