Forest River is recalling six model year 2020 Sunseeker SSC2250SLEC, Freelander FLC26RSC, and Leprechaun LPC240FSC vehicles.

The seatbelt-unfastened warning light will not illuminate for approximately five seconds after the ignition is moved to the "on" or "start" position.

Without the seatbelt warning reminder, the driver may forget to fasten the seatbelt, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

What to do

Forest River will notify owners, and GM dealers will reprogram the instrument panel, free of charge.

The recall began on October 29, 2019.

Owners may contact GMC customer service at (800) 462-8782 or Forest River customer service at (800) 348-7440. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-1084.
