What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in the propane tank support system that creates a risk of fire or explosion, meeting the rubric criteria for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (potential).
Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Coachmen 2150LE Prism motor homes manufactured between July 2011 and May 2014. The recall involves 256 vehicles.
The defect is caused by welds in an improper location, which may prevent the liquid propane (LP) tank support braces from being secure. This condition allows the LP tank to drop and fall off the vehicle while in transit. If the tank falls, there is an increased risk of fire or explosion.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a repair kit free of charge. The recall was expected to begin in October 2014. Owners may contact Coachmen customer service at 1-800-353-7383 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
