Description of the defect

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 East to West Entrada Class C Motorhomes.

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)."
