What NHTSA recorded

Forest river is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 georgetown recreational vehicles built on a ford stripped chassis, manufactured from february 15, 2010, through november 29, 2011. The gear shifter’s cable may break at the attachment to the transmission control selector arm assembly mounted on the steering column. If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the gear display in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected.

Possible consequence

An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel increases the risk that a vehicle is left in gear, such that the vehicle could roll leading to a crash or injury to a bystander.

Remedy

Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the cable assembly, free of charge. Forest river has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact forest river at 1-574-295-8749.
