- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Coachmen Galleria, 2023 Coachmen Beyond, and 2023 Nova motorhomes, equipped with SDS2 2-Burner Drop-in Cooktops with part numbers 3031AST and 3032AST. The internal aluminum burner tubes that connect to the gas valves may fracture and cause a gas leak.
- What it can cause
- A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a regulator support bracket, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 13, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-825-6307. Forest River's number for this recall is 225-1601.
- 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.safercar.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 12 vehicles this is a small campaign: 90% 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, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Coachmen vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 57 times before this, most recently in October 2022 as 22V813000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V040000 (structure), 24V005000 (electrical system), 23V286000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V737000 (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 February 9, 2023 as campaign 23V061000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
