Defect

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Forester and Sunseeker motorhomes. The park brake signal wire may not be connected to the house battery control center, which can allow the slideroom to extend during transit.

Consequence

A slideroom unexpectedly extends increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy
