- The defect

- An incorrect fuse may not function as intended and increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the fuse with a 15-AMP 12-Volt fuse, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 6, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-825-7101. Forest River's number for this recall is 110-1686.

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 50 vehicles this is a small campaign: 78% 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 one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Coachmen vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 18 times before this, most recently in August 2023 as 23V575000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 26V020000 (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 29, 2023 as campaign 23V660000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
