SUMMARY:
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016 Coachmen Galleria motorhomes manufactured from October 30, 2015, through February 15, 2016.

Without the GVWR listed on the label, the operator may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Placards on the affected vehicles incorrectly lists the number of seatbelts as zero.
