- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Coachmen Concord Class C motorhomes. Installation of the air ride suspension system resulted in an incorrect pinion to driveline angle.
- What it can cause
- An incorrect pinion to driveline angle may cause rear wheel lockup, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a shorter control arm, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 14, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-825-8602. Forest River's number for this recall is 210-1693.
- 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 18 vehicles this is a small campaign: 88% 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 2023 to 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 power train 5 times before this, most recently in March 2020 as 20V158000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 24V095000 (suspension), 23V850000 (suspension), 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 October 20, 2023 as campaign 23V706000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
