STRUCTURE
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 Catalina 184BHS and 184 BHS-W travel trailer recreational vehicles. The interior plates that clamp the slide-mechanism to the interior wall were installed incorrectly, which may cause the slide-room to partially detach during transit.
- What it can cause
- Slide-room detachment while the vehicle is moving can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the interior plates for the slide-room, and replace the exterior column screws, free of charge. The recall began March 11, 2021. Owners may contact Catalina customer service at 1-574-825-4995. Forest River's number for this recall is 203-1300.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
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 261 vehicles this is a small campaign: 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Coachmen vehicles have been recalled over the structure 4 times before this, most recently in October 2017 as 17V611000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V111000 (equipment), 22V477000 (electrical system), 22V243000 (equipment), 22V003000 (equipment).
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 March 2, 2021 as campaign 21V128000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
