CarRecallWatch- Component
- SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
- Problem
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015 Dynamax Rev vehicles manufactured November 25, 2014, to November 26, 2014. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with head restraints that exceed the maximum backset measurement limit of 55mm. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 202a, "Head Restraints."
- Risk
- If the vehicle is struck from behind, the head restraint may not properly limit the seat occupant's head movement rearward, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Forest River will notify owners, and Chrysler dealers will replace the front seat head restraints, free of charge. The recall began on July 8, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-262-3474 ext. 212. Forest River's number for this recall is 55-06112015-0051.
- Notes
- 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.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2015 vehicles built in late November 2014 may have front seat head restraints whose backset exceeds the 55mm federal limit. Because of this, the head restraints do not fully meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 202a for head restraints.
If the vehicle is struck from behind, the head restraint may not properly limit how far the seat occupant's head moves rearward, which increases the risk of injury.
Owners will be notified by Forest River. The front seat head restraints will be replaced free of charge at an authorized dealer. You can also contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-262-3474 ext. 212, and check your VIN for open recalls.
