Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2021 and 2022 Coachmen Catalina and Forest River Aurora travel trailers due to a manufacturing defect. The panel that isolates the cooktop from the furnace was not properly sealed during manufacturing.
An improperly sealed panel can allow an inverted cooktop flame. This increases the risk of fire within the travel trailer. No injuries or fires have been reported to date.
Owners are entitled to a free repair at an authorized Forest River dealer, where the furnace will be properly sealed from the cooktop. Forest River mailed notification letters to owners on February 1, 2022.
