- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Coachmen Freelander, Leprechaun, and 2023 Coachmen Prism motorhomes. The auxiliary LPG quick disconnect may be improperly tightened, causing a gas leak.
- What it can cause
- A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the quick disconnect, and tighten if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 29, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8602. Forest River's number for this recall is 210-1556.
- 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 284 vehicles this is a small campaign: 56% 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 2022 to 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Coachmen vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 54 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V559000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V186000 (equipment), 24V050000 (equipment), 24V047000 (equipment), 23V659000 (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 September 16, 2022 as campaign 22V694000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
