Recall 22V489000 · manufacturer campaign 220-1535

Exterior Lighting › Tail Lights — Coachmen · reported 8 Jul 2022 · 43 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022 Coachmen Apex travel trailers. The tail lights may have been incorrectly wired to an "ON/OFF" switch, which can cause the brake or tail lights to not illuminate when the switch is in the "off" position.

The risk

Brake or tail lights that fail to illuminate can reduce visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will rewire the tail lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 9, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-358-0401. Forest River's number for this recall is 220-1535.

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.
