- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Coachmen Galleria, 2021-2023 Forest River Beyond, and 2021-2023 Coachmen Nova Class B motorhomes. The retractable awning may extend unintentionally during transit.
- What it can cause
- An awning extending unintentionally during transit may become a distraction or road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

- Dealers will install a wedge to support the internal components in the gearbox and replace the motor as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 9, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-825-6319. Forest River's number for this recall is 225-1723.

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 2,519 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 68% 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 2023, 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 structure 5 times before this, most recently in March 2021 as 21V128000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V005000 (electrical system), 23V286000 (fuel system, gasoline), 23V061000 (equipment), 22V737000 (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 25, 2024 as campaign 24V040000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
