EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Coachmen Beyond, Galleria, and Nova recreational vehicles, equipped with certain Multiplex Electronic Control Modules (ECM). The ECM software may cause the awning to unintentionally extend or retract when the vehicle is parked.
- What it can cause
- An awning that unintentionally extends or retracts increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the Electronic Control Module (ECM), free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 24, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-4995; Firefly customer service at 1-574-825-4600; or Coachmen customer service at 1-574-825-6319 or 574-825-6225. Forest River's number for this recall is 225-1538.
- 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 962 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. 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 55 times before this, most recently in September 2022 as 22V694000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V040000 (structure), 24V005000 (electrical system), 23V286000 (fuel system, gasoline), 23V061000 (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 October 4, 2022 as campaign 22V737000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
