Forest River is recalling 36 2025-2026 Entourage motorhomes because the Cargo Carrying Capacity label lists 7 seat-belted positions even though the vehicle has 8.

What's wrong?
The Cargo Carrying Capacity label on the 2025-2026 Forest River Entourage tells an owner how much weight the motorhome is built to carry. That label has to match the actual seating layout, including the seat-belted positions, because people and cargo both count against the motorhome's safe carrying capacity.
On affected Entourage motorhomes, the label says there are 7 seat-belted positions, while the motorhome has 8. That mismatch came from a manufacturing error. If an owner loads the motorhome using the lower seating count on the label, the motorhome can be overloaded because the extra belted seating position is not reflected in the posted capacity information.
There is no warning sign before failure. This is a labeling and seating-count defect, so the owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a mechanical symptom while driving.
Who's affected?
The scope is limited to one model name across the 2025 and 2026 model years, with the same vehicle-label component on each.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
An overloaded Entourage can exceed the vehicle's intended carrying capacity, which increases the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before the overload concern, so confirm your VIN and follow the seating and weight limits until the seat belt is removed. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025-2026 Forest River Entourage is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free seat belt removal that corrects the seating count and reduces overload risk.
- Bring the recall notice if Forest River mailed one. If not, reference recall number 26V154 when you call.
- Avoid using the extra belted position until the dealer repair is complete.
- Call Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8602 with questions about scheduling or the recall notice.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician removes one of the seat belts covered by recall 26V154 so the motorhome no longer has more belted seating positions than the carrying capacity label supports. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you already paid for a related seat belt repair before the recall notice, Forest River's general reimbursement plan on file is the path for documented out-of-pocket costs. Bring repair paperwork and payment records to the service desk.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 26V154?
Recall 26V154 covers 36 2025-2026 Forest River Entourage motorhomes with a Cargo Carrying Capacity label that lists 7 seat belted positions even though the motorhome has 8. That labeling error can allow overloading, which increases crash risk. Forest River dealers will remove one seat belt for free.
What should I do if my 2025-2026 Forest River Entourage is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific motorhome is included in recall 26V154. If it is, call a franchised Forest River dealer or Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8602 to schedule the free seat belt removal. Reference Forest River recall number 210-2041 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair recall defects and noncompliance issues at no cost, and Forest River's remedy says dealers will remove one seat belt free of charge. Parts and labor are covered at a franchised Forest River dealer.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is overloading. The incorrect Cargo Carrying Capacity label lists 7 seat belted positions when the motorhome has 8, which can lead owners to load the vehicle beyond its safe capacity. An overloaded vehicle increases crash risk.

Forest River mailed owner notification letters on March 19, 2026. If you own a 2025-2026 Forest River Entourage and never received a letter, check your VIN anyway. Used vehicles, address changes, and delayed mail can keep recall notices from reaching the current owner.
