The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,427 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 62% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Coachmen vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 40 times before this, most recently in June 2020 as 20V358000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V040000 (structure), 24V005000 (electrical system), 20V477000 (air bags), 20V363000 (service brakes, air).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Forest River, Inc. with NHTSA on August 14, 2020 as campaign 20V479000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
