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 recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a missing safety component (LP quick disconnect) creates a significant risk of fire and carbon monoxide exposure, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2018-2019 Coachmen Spirit recreational trailers, specifically models SBT2963BH and SBT2342BH. The recall involves 68 units where the outdoor cooktop may have been installed without a liquid propane (LP) quick disconnect.

If the cooktop lacks this quick disconnect feature and is placed into the vehicle while still connected to the LP supply with the hose in the ON position, users may be exposed to carbon monoxide. Additionally, escaping propane gas may increase the risk of a fire.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will disconnect the LP supply line and relocate it with a quick disconnect LP fitting free of charge. The recall began on June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8205 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
