What this recall means for you
The backup camera system may display its image in reverse, so an object or person on the vehicle's left can appear on the right side of the screen, and the reverse is also possible. Drivers relying on the screen may misjudge where a hazard is when backing up.
This mismatch increases the risk of a crash while reversing, including striking an object or a person behind the vehicle. Owners should be cautious about relying solely on the camera until the repair is done.
Forest River will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the camera at no cost. Owners can contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-264-5179 and reference recall number 51-06232015-0057. You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
