Defect. Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Coachmen Spirit recreational trailers, models SBT2963BH and SBT2342BH. The outdoor cooktop may have been installed without an liquid propane (LP) quick disconnect.
Risk. If the cooktop does not have an LP hose quick disconnect feature and the cooktop is placed into the vehicle while still connected to the LP supply and with the LP hose in the ON position, users may be exposed to Carbon Monoxide. Additionally, the escaping propane gas may increase the risk of a fire.
Remedy. Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will disconnect the LP supply line and relocate it with a quick disconnect LP fitting, free of charge. The recall began on June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8205. Forest River's number for this recall is 220-0691.

I HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY, CONCERNING THE TIRES ON THIS RIG. HERE IS THE LIST OF THE ISSUE: 1.WE MADE OUR SECOND CAMPING TRIP TO THE AUSTIN AREA. PRIOR TO LEAVING FOR THIS TRIP, AND ALSO BEFORE WE STARTED BACK HOME, I CHECKED BOTH TIRES FOR PRESSURE, AND LOOKED FOR ANY ISSUES. THEY WERE BOTH AT 65PSI, WHICH IS PER THE VENDORS (KENDA) RECOMMENDATION, AND NO CRACKS, IMPERFECTIONS, ETC., AND, THE TIRE PRESSURE AGREES WITH THE LABEL ON THE SIDE OF THE CAMPER. 2.I WAS TOLD BY THE SELLING DEALER NEVER TO EXCEED 65MPH WHILE TRAVELING. TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, I HAVE ALWAYS TRAVELED AT ONLY ABOUT 60MPH. 3.STOPPED FOR GAS ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE TRIP, AND VISUALLY INSPECTED BOTH TIRES FOR ANY ISSUES. I ALSO FELT OF TIRES, RIMS, AND HUBS FOR ANY WARMTH, WHICH WOULD INDICATE AN ISSUE. ALL WAS FINE. 4.ABOUT 5 MILES FROM HOME, WE EXITED THE FREEWAY, WHICH SPEED DROPS TO 50MPH. HOWEVER, I WANTED TO BE EXTRA SAFE, SO, I SLOWED MY SPEED DOWN TO 40MPH. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I FELT SAFER TO DO WITH THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. 5.SUDDENLY, AND VERY VIOLENTLY, THE LEFT TIRE ON THE CAMPER BLEW OUT. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE RIG, BUT PIECES OF THE TIRE FLEW OFF, HITTING OTHER CARS. 6.PULED OVER TO A VERY

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
