“Shasta Airflyte RV Recall: Dinette Table Fall Hazard.” GovInfoNow, updated October 13, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1227427-shasta-airflyte-2016-recall-equipment. Based on NHTSA recall #16V218000 (https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=16V218000).

Why it’s dangerous

The supporting leg for the dinette table lacks adequate support when lowered. This mechanical failure allows the heavy table to fall unexpectedly between the benches, potentially striking anyone sitting nearby.

Who’s affected

Owners of 2015-2016 Shasta Airflyte recreational vehicles manufactured between April 28, 2015, and May 14, 2015. Occupants using the dinette area are at risk of injury if the table collapses.

How to tell if you have this one

Check if your vehicle is a Shasta Airflyte model year 2015 or 2016 (16-foot or 19-foot) manufactured from April 28, 2015, through May 14, 2015. You can verify eligibility by contacting Forest River customer service at 1-574-821-1314 and providing your details.
