ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2024 Coachmen Adrenaline, Apex, Freedom Express, Remote, Spirit, and Forest River Work and Play travel trailers. The electrical plug blade openings (narrow hot blade and wider neutral blade) may be reversed on one of the two receptacle outlet faces, which can cause outlet failure.
- What it can cause
- Electrical outlet failure can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the incorrect receptacles, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 27, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-825-4995. Coachmen Apex and Apex Remote owners may contact 1-574-825-8205, and Freedom Express, Adrenaline and Work and Play owners may contact 1-574-825-6302. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-1703.

- 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 559 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 52% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. 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.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 41 times before this, most recently in November 2023 as 23V739000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V020000 (equipment), 23V738000 (exterior lighting).
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 17, 2023 as campaign 23V773000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
