Motorhomes recalled for fuel hose defect in Cummins generators

Certain 2021-2024 Forest River and Coachmen motorhomes equipped with Cummins Onan generators are affected by a fuel hose defect. The inadequate clamp force may cause a gasoline leak, increasing fire risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a documented structural vehicle defect (inadequate fuel hose clamp force) involving a gasoline leak that could result in fire. However, no incidents, injuries, fires, or deaths have been reported. Per the rubric, when no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2021-2023 Galleria, Beyond, Forester, and Sunseeker motorhomes and 2021-2024 Nova motorhomes equipped with Cummins Onan QG 2800i or QG 2800i EVAP generator sets. The fuel hose connecting the inline fuel filter to the Injection Pump Module may have inadequate clamp force.

This defect may result in a gasoline leak. In the presence of an ignition source, such a leak increases the risk of fire.
