Owner report 10706343 · 2015-04-17 (April 17, 2015)
ON OUR FIRST TRIP IN JULY,2014, THE REARVIEW CAMERA QUIT WORKING NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN TRAVELING. THIS WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AS A DRIVER DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU COULD NOT SEE BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THE BIGFOOT STABILIZER JACKS WOULD GO UP AND DOWN EVEN WITH SWITCH TURNED OFF. FINALLY ON MARCH 24 THEY CAME COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ACROSS THE ARKANSAS BRIDGE AT MEMPHIS. THE JACKS DRAGGED THE GROUND AND ALMOST CAUSED A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. FOREST RIVER CORP AND BIGFOOT JACKS CORP. WERE BOTH AWARE THAT THERE H…

Owner report 10883000 · 2016-07-06 (July 6, 2016)
ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50 MILES AN HOUR, THE STABILIZER JACKS HAVE JUST DROPPED TO THE GROUND. THE LATEST INSTANCE WAS ON JUNE 27, 2016 ON LA 1 IN SHREVEPORT,LOUISIANA. NOT A GOOD FEELING WHEN YOU HEAR METAL AGAINST CONCRETE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD THIS COACH IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO BE FIXED AND THE FINAL INSTRUCTIONS I WAS GIVEN BY FOREST RIVER WAS "THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ON THE TELEPHONE THIS AFTERNOON AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE ISSUE YOU ARE HAVING WITH YOUR QUADRA STABILIZING JACKS.…

Owner report 11063165 · 2018-01-16 (January 16, 2018)
TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL MERCEDES-BENZ DEALERS REGARDING THIS RECALL. MY LAST CONTACT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER, 2017 (DESMOINES, IA). THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID HAVE THE AIR BAG REPAIR PARTS. THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS 'PENDING', HOWEVER WAS NOT APPROVED FOR INSTALLATION AT THAT TIME. SO THEY DECLINED TO REPAIR IT.

Reported: 2016-06-27 (June 27, 2016)
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Forester motorhomes manufactured June 10, 2014, to May 25, 2016, Sunseeker motorhomes manufactured April 4, 2014, to May 25, 2016, 2015-2016 Solera motorhomes manufactured February 28, 2014, to September 17, 2015, and 2016 Isata motorhomes manufactured October 30, 2015, to May 26, 2016. Water may leak into the electrical module that controls the vehicle taillights, brake lights, turn signal lights, clearance lights and marker lights, making the lights inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence: If the rear brake lights fail to illuminate, following motorists may not realize that the vehicle in front of them is stopping. Inoperative taillights, clearance lights and marker lights will make the vehicle less visible to others. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles, free of charge. An interim notice was sent to owners on August 16, 2016. The recall began on December 8, 2016. Forester, Solera, and Sunseeker owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-206-7600. Isata customers should call 1-574-262-3474. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-06012016-0206.
