2024 FOREST RIVER FR3 Complaints
On [XXX], while traveling in our FR3 RV to a funeral in Ohio, we experienced a serious safety failure. As we drove through heavy traffic in Cincinnati, the refrigerator detached from the wall and fell into the cabin, forcing my husband to swerve suddenly and nearly causing an accident. It fell right into the dinette seating where our grandchildren often sit to color or I sit to work. This incident resulted in significant damage to the surrounding interior and could have resulted in death or injury. The following day, while returning from the funeral, we were contacted by the RV park where our vehicle was parked. Other campers reported seeing flames coming from one of the RV’s AC units. Upon further investigation, we discovered that these AC units were the subject of a recall issued in November 2024. Despite this, we purchased our RV brand new in March 2025, several months after the recall was issued. The dealership failed to rectify the recall before it was sold to us. These failures present unacceptable safety hazards and have caused us both financial and emotional stress. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6);
2024 FOREST RIVER GEORGETOWN Complaints
Component: Interior trim – driver-side sofa/dinette slide Georgetown 2024 5 Series 36B5 Complaint Description: The driver-side sofa/dinette slide trim in my 2024 Georgetown 5 Series 36B5 has detached and fallen into the coach interior on two separate occasions, creating a serious safety hazard. The first incident occurred while the vehicle was stationary. The trim fell inside the coach and narrowly missed my two-year-old child. This could have resulted in serious injury. The unit was repaired by Camping World under warranty. The second incident occurred while the vehicle was in motion. The same trim detached again, this time breaking through the screen door across from it in the living area, narrowly missing my head as passenger. This caused loud noise, panic, and a major distraction to the driver. It frightened our dog and created a near-crash situation. As the front passenger, I attempted to secure the falling trim to prevent it from striking our child passengers and nearly cut my hand on the broken material in the process. This is a repeat failure of the same component after repair, indicating a potential design, installation, or manufacturing defect. An interior component becoming a projectile while driving presents a serious safety risk to occupants. I am requesting that this issue be reviewed as a potential vehicle safety defect affecting this model. Please also note that Camping World is working with Ford to fix a clerical error on this model which is a 2024 NOT a 2023. I have reported these issues to both Forest River and Camping World. Currently awaiting resolution.;
