What owners report
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT SAFE TO USE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. HIGH BEAMS WITH FOG LIGHTS ARE SOMEWHAT BETTER BUT STILL NOT VERY BRIGHT. I HAVE HAD TO AVOID DRIVING AT ALL IF AT ALL POSSIBLE DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT BY 2017 FOREST RIVER RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM AND UPGRADED THE HEADLIGHTS BUT HAS NOT RECALLED OR NOTIFIED PRIOR OWNERS OF THE DEFECT. *DT CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. ORIGINAL HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED. *JB
THE ORIGINAL HEAD LAMP MODULES ARE ABSOLUTELY USELESS AND MAKE DRIVING AT NIGHT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY COACH AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE DUE TO THE INADEQUATE LIGHTING THAT FOREST RIVER HAD ORIGINALLY INSTALLED ON THE FR3. FOREST RIVER IS WELL AWARE OF THE DEFICIENCY AS THEY HAVE CHANGED TO THE UPDATED MODULE SOMEWHERE AROUND THE MIDYEAR 2015'S. FOREST RIVER RECEIVED NUMEROUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS FROM THE DEALERS AND THE FORUM BUT REFUSED TO HELP CUSTOMERS WHO DID NOT COMPLAIN LOUD ENOUGH OR LONG ENOUGH. I SUPPOSE NOT BEING ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE MY COACH AT NIGHT DUE TO NEED OR WANT DOES NOT MATTER TO FR.
