Forest River Impression Recall 21V903: Misplaced rear center light may reduce visibility to other drivers

NHTSA campaign 21V903, reported November 19, 2021, 957 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2021-2022 Forest River Impression fifth wheel recreational vehicles were built with the center identification light on the rear installed higher than the other rear lights. This means the vehicle does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lamps and reflective devices.

Because the lighting is mispositioned, other drivers may have a harder time seeing the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.

Dealers will reposition the center top lamp and install a reflector in place of the center lamp, at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed December 21, 2021. You can contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-296-2084, referencing recall number 83-1441, and check your vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
