The short version

Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the electrical system instrument cluster/panel. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The seatbelt-unfastened warning light will not illuminate for approximately five seconds after the ignition is moved to the "on" or "start" position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

WHY IT MATTERS

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

WHAT TO DO

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