NHTSA recall 18V354000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Coachmen Chaparral, Chaparral Lite and Brookstone, and Shasta Phoenix recreational trailers. The liquid propane (lp) gas bottle ring on these trailers may not have a deep enough pierce punch to bind the metal strap, possibly resulting in the lp bottle detaching.
Why it matters: If the lp bottle detaches while moving, it can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will install new lp bottle rings, free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2018.
