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 172 vehicles this is a small campaign: 63% 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 model years 2017 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Coachmen vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 51 times before this, most recently in May 2022 as 22V361000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V771000 (equipment), 24V272000 (equipment), 21V701000 (equipment), 21V523000 (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 July 8, 2022 as campaign 22V487000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
