Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2021-2022 Coachmen Sportscoach motorhomes. The outdoor cooktop can be stowed while the propane supply hose remains connected to the unit.

A stowed cooktop with propane still connected increases the risk of a fire. Propane disconnection is not required before the cooktop is stowed, creating the hazard.
