Summary

Forest River, Inc. "Forest River" is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Coachmen Freelander vehicles manufactured February 14, 2014, to April 1, 2015, and 2015 Coachmen Leprechaun vehicles manufactured on June 10, 2014. The affected vehicles, manufactured on a Ford 158" wheelbase chassis with a 5.4L V-8 engine, may have a Federal Certification label that lists an incorrect gross vehicle weight rating "GVWR", gross axle weight rating "GAWR" and wrong cargo carrying capacity information. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Consequence

With incorrect GVWR, GAWR, and cargo carrying capacity information, the operator may overload the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Forest River will notify owners and will provide replacement labels with the corrected information, free of charge. The recall began on April 17, 2015. Owners may contact Coachmen customer service at 1-800-453-6064. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-04172015-0031.
