NHTSA recall 21V475000
Equipment › Other › Labels
East To West Entrada
The defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 East to West Entrada Class C Motorhomes. The federal placard incorrectly states that there are six seats equipped with seat belts when there are actually only four. As such, these motorhomes fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, " Tire selection and rims and motor home/recreation vehicle trailer load carrying capacity information for motor vehicles with a GVWR of more than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds)."
The risk
Vehicle occupants may be unaware of the accurate number of seat belts, resulting in unsecured passengers and increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
The remedy
Forest River will provide a new federal placard, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 25, 2021. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-264-6664. Forest River's number for this recall is 504-1374.
