The defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Coachmen Nova NAB20C and NAB20D Class B motorhomes. The solar panel may detach from the pop-up roof.
What it can cause
A detached solar panel could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will remove and reinstall the solar panel, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 26, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-825-6319. Forest River's number for this recall is 225-1772.
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 23 vehicles this is a small campaign: 86% 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 2024 to 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.

Coachmen vehicles have been recalled over the structure 6 times before this, most recently in January 2024 as 24V040000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 24V034000 (equipment), 23V575000 (electrical system), 23V286000 (fuel system, gasoline).

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 May 10, 2024 as campaign 24V326000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
