- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019-2024 Georgetown and FR3 Class A motorhomes. The liquid petroleum gas (LPG) tank mounting brackets may break, which can result in the LPG tank becoming dislodged and damaged.
- What it can cause
- A damaged LPG tank increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the brackets and welds as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 11, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-206-7600. Forest River's number for this recall is 68-1736.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 6,966 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 77% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 176 times before this, most recently in February 2024 as 24V066000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 3 of the 12 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 20 complaints with NHTSA, 13 of them before this campaign was filed. 6 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2021, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V771000 (equipment), 23V262000 (equipment), 22V556000 (equipment), 21V523000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Forest River, Inc. with NHTSA on February 12, 2024 as campaign 24V103000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
