EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018-2024 Coachmen Adrenaline and 2020-2024 Work and Play fifth wheels and travel trailers. The side marker lights may not reflect light as intended, which can make it difficult for other drivers to see the trailer. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- Non-reflective side marker lights can reduce the trailer's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install reflector stickers, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 5, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-825-6302. Forest River's number for this recall is 320-1697.
- 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 2,235 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 15 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V903000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 26V020000 (equipment), 23V773000 (electrical system), 22V556000 (equipment), 22V243000 (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 November 3, 2023 as campaign 23V738000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
