NHTSA recall campaign
16V645000
What was wrong
Defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2017 Coachmen Viking recreational trailers manufactured May 31, 2016, to August 23, 2016. The affected vehicles may be missing wire clip that retains the gas lift roof struts to the mounting bracket.
Risk
Without the wire retaining clip, the roof lifting strut could detach from the mounting bracket, allowing one side of the roof to drop down quickly, increasing the risk of injury.
Manufacturer remedy
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a wire clip to secure the strut, free of charge. The recall began on September 29, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-269-467-8281. Forest River's number for this recall is 120-08302016-0240.
