- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2025 Coachmen Apex and Remote travel trailers. The solar panel wiring may be incorrectly wired to the battery, causing it to melt.
- What it can cause
- Melted wiring may cause an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and rewire the solar panel as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 15, 2025. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8205. Forest River's number for this recall is 224-1912.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1- 888-275-9171), or go to www.safercar.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 69 vehicles this is a small campaign: 74% 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 one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Coachmen vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 71 times before this, most recently in February 2025 as 25V112000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 April 4, 2025 as campaign 25V212000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
