Example complaints
Body and structure: “While exiting i10 in casa grande az, I heard a noise like something had hit my motorhome. When I investigated the source of the noise. Upon removal of the side molding, I found that 6 of the 7 screws that attach the side wall of the motorhome to the floor had either broken, stripped, rusted and just were not installed correctly. Two of the screws that were supposed to be screwed into the box frame, weren't even screwed into it. I belong to the Forest River forum, and I've seen numerous complaints about this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10668405, filed 2014-12, 25,314 milesBrakes: “Started to drive my 2008 motorhome, which has the r26 workhorse ufo chassis, when the dash lit up with ABS light, auto park light, hydraulic brake failure, etc.. I applied the brakes to stop and the motorhome locked up instantly and will not move. I called a service center and they stated it was caused by the meritor / wabco hydraulic control unit, which is a major component of the braking system, once it fails it applies the parking brakes instantly, glad I wasn't going at highway speeds when this happened.”
