A SECONDARY NOTICE WILL FOLLOW
WHEN THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE

November 2022
This Notice applies to your vehicle VIN listed above.
Dear Forest River Customer:
Forest River is alerting you to a Ford Recall 22S62 involving certain 2021-2022 Georgetown, FR3 and Coachmen Encore
and 2021-2023 Coachmen Mirada and Pursuit Class A Recreational Vehicles. Please see the information below, which
describes the issue and provides you with details on the steps you should take to have your vehicle repaired.
WHAT IS THE ISSUE?
In some of the affected vehicles, the rear stabilizer bar attachment bracket(s) weld-nuts may not be capable of supporting
the required joint torque for this application and may have been damaged during the assembly process. During vehicle
usage, the weld nuts attaching the rear stabilizer bracket may loosen, and the attachment bracket may break and/or the
attachment bolts and the bracket may separate from the vehicle. It is possible that this may result in a road debris hazard.
DEALERS: WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
Please review and follow the notice that accompanies this letter
DO NOT DEMONSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this safety recall. A complete Dealer
Bulletin will be provided to dealers in first quarter of 2023 when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair
instructions will be available to support this safety recall.
IMPORTANT: Dealers should open a Repair Order (RO) only when a full dealer bulletin is published. Opening an
RO against an Awareness or Advance Notice will result in warranty rejections against a recall.
OWNERS: WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
The remedy for this recall is not available at this time. A second notice will be sent when it becomes available.

Sincerely,
Forest River
