“Forest River Legacy Motorhome Seat Belt Recall.” GovInfoNow, updated October 13, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1248218-forest-river-legacy-2015-recall-seat-belts. Based on NHTSA recall #15V806000 (https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=15V806000).
Why it’s dangerous
If the shoulder belt rests too low on the torso or below the shoulder, it cannot effectively distribute crash forces across the stronger parts of the body. This improper positioning increases the likelihood of serious injury to the occupant during an accident.
Who’s affected
Owners of Forest River Legacy motorhomes, specifically models 340BH, 340KP, and 360RB manufactured between September 12, 2013, and September 25, 2015. Occupants using the front seat belts are at risk because the belt may not restrain them properly in a crash.
How to tell if you have this one
Check if your motorhome is a Forest River Legacy model year 2014-2016 (models 340BH, 340KP, or 360RB) manufactured between September 12, 2013, and September 25, 2015. You can verify your specific vehicle by contacting Forest River customer service at 1-574-293-6137 or 1-574-295-2117.
