Recall 14V499000

Equipment › Recreational Vehicle/trailer › Lpg Systems — Coachmen · reported 13 Aug 2014 · 256 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Coachmen 2150LE Prism motor homes manufactured July 2011 to May 2014. Due to the welds being in an improper location, the liquid propane (LP) tank support braces may not be secure, allowing the LP tank to drop and fall off the vehicle while in transit.

The risk

If the LP tank drops or falls off the vehicle while in transit, there is an increased risk of fire or explosion.

The fix

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a repair kit, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during October 2014. Owners may contact Coachmen customer service at 1-800-353-7383.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
