- What it can cause
- A loss of power steering increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will relocate the wiring to a different lug, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 13, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-825-6319. Forest River's number for this recall is 225-1716.

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 572 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 model years 2020 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Coachmen vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 20 times before this, most recently in November 2023 as 23V773000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V040000 (structure), 23V575000 (electrical system), 23V286000 (fuel system, gasoline), 23V061000 (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 January 8, 2024 as campaign 24V005000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
