What happened

The labels on the rear emergency exit window are not positioned within the required 16 centimeters of the release mechanisms, which could hinder an occupant's ability to quickly open the emergency window and escape in an emergency.

Forest River will notify owners and provide a replacement label along with instructions for correct placement at no charge.
