EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:OVEN/STOVE/COOKTOP
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Coachmen Catalina and Forest River Aurora travel trailers. The panel that isolates the cooktop from the furnace was not properly sealed during manufacturing, which could result in an inverted cooktop flame.
- What it can cause
- An inverted flame can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will seal the furnace from the cooktop, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 1, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8657. Forest River's number for this recall is 203-1454. This recall is an expansion of recall 21V-828.
- 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.nhtsa.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 1,097 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 59% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 156 times before this, most recently in December 2021 as 21V988000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V111000 (equipment), 22V556000 (equipment), 22V488000 (electrical system), 22V477000 (electrical system).
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 January 7, 2022 as campaign 22V003000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
