What happened

Forest River is recalling certain 2020 Sunseeker SSC2250SLEC, Freelander FLC26RSC, and Leprechaun LPC240FSC vehicles because the seatbelt warning light will not illuminate for approximately five seconds after the ignition is turned on or started. Without this warning reminder, drivers may forget to fasten their seatbelts, which increases the risk of injury in a crash.

Forest River will notify owners, and GM dealers will reprogram the instrument panel at no charge to fix the problem. Owners of affected vehicles should contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782 or Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440 and reference Forest River's recall number 51-1084.
