Coachmen Recalls 2011 Fifth Wheel Travel Trailers Due to Propane Leak Risk

Coachmen is recalling certain 2011 Chaparral, Brookstone, and Northridge fifth wheel travel trailers because a fracture in the gas line to the oven could cause a propane leak.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that a propane leak could result in a fire and/or explosion causing property damage and/or personal injury, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or risk thereof in a vehicle context.

Plain-English summary

Coachmen RV Company, LLC is recalling certain model year 2011 Chaparral, Brookstone, and Northridge fifth wheel travel trailers. These vehicles were manufactured between July 1, 2010, and September 20, 2010, and are equipped with Atwood 35 Series range ovens.

The recall is due to a potential small fracture within the line delivering gas to the oven cavity burner. Such a fracture may cause propane gas to leak from the line. A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire and/or explosion, causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Coachmen is working with Atwood to replace or repair the stoves free of charge. The safety recall began on October 28, 2010. Owners may contact Atwood at 1-574-266-4749 or Coachmen at 1-574-825-8360. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit safercar.gov.
