What's wrong?
The triple square taillamp on the 2025 Forest River Freelander, Concord, Leprechaun, and Entourage motorhomes is the rear light assembly other drivers use to see the motorhome from behind. It also works with the turn signal circuit, so the rear signal flashes when the driver uses the blinker.
On the recalled motorhomes, the supplier's triple square taillamp can build excessive heat during use. That heat damages the lamp assembly and leads to early taillamp failure. When the rear lamp stops illuminating, drivers behind the motorhome get less warning that the vehicle is present, slowing, or turning.
An owner notices the problem when the rear taillamp does not illuminate. The driver can also hear a "fast blink" sound when using the blinker, which points to a turn signal circuit problem at the rear lamp.
Who's affected?
The scope spans the Freelander, Concord, Leprechaun, and Entourage motorhome lines for the 2025 model year, all using the same Triple Square taillamp.

What's the safety risk?
Inoperative taillights make the vehicle harder for other drivers to see and increase the risk of a crash. Watch for a rear taillamp that does not illuminate or a fast blink sound when using the blinker, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
What should I do?

- Contact a franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free taillight replacement that fixes overheating taillights that fail to illuminate.
- Bring the recall notice if you received one. If not, reference recall number 24V895 or Forest River recall 210-1872 when you call.
