What's wrong?
The shower door in the 2016-2017 Forest River Forester and Sunseeker is part of the motorhome's interior equipment. Its normal job is simple: keep water inside the shower area while using materials that meet the federal flammability standard for interior vehicle materials. That standard limits how interior materials burn when exposed to flame.
On affected motorhomes, the supplier sent prototype shower doors to Forest River. Those prototype doors had not been certified to meet FMVSS No. 302, the federal rule for flammability of interior materials. The problem traces to the textile material used in the door, and Forest River said the corrected door uses a material change to pass the required certification.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner will not see a dashboard light, hear a noise, or feel a change while driving because this is an interior-material compliance problem, not a drivability problem.
Who's affected?
Forester and Sunseeker motorhomes share the same recreational vehicle/trailer equipment component across the 2016 and 2017 model years.

What's the safety risk?
If a fire starts, shower doors that do not meet FMVSS 302 can let flame spread more than the standard allows, which increases the risk of serious injury. There is no warning sign before a fire exposes this defect, so schedule the shower-door replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
