2016 COACHMEN GALLERIA

  • Brand COACHMEN

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2016 Coachmen Galleria motorhomes manufactured between October 30, 2015, and February 15, 2016. The Federal Placards on these vehicles have multiple errors: they incorrectly show zero seatbelts, they fail to include the fresh water capacity in the vehicle weight calculation, and they are missing the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Without the correct GVWR listed on the label, operators may overload the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected Federal Placard at no charge. The recall began on March 3, 2016. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8628 and reference recall number 225-02102016-0134.
