- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Shasta Phoenix, Coachmen Brookstone, and 2019-2022 Coachmen Chaparral, and Chaparral Lite fifth wheels. The floating cross-member may not be installed correctly and fail to retain the holding tanks, causing the holding tanks to become dislodged.
- What it can cause
- A tank that becomes dislodged during transit increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and relocate the cross-member as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 29, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-7101. Forest River's number for this recall is 110-1561.
- 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 2,018 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 66% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Coachmen vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 56 times before this, most recently in October 2022 as 22V737000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V556000 (equipment), 20V727000 (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 31, 2022 as campaign 22V813000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
