Coachmen RV Company, LLC reported this defect to federal regulators on Mar 7, 2007 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 24. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE SELF TAPING SCREWS THAT ARE USED TO SECURE THE LIQUID PROPANE (LP) BOTTLE SUPPORT TRAY TO THE TRAILER FRAME MAY FAIL. THE SUPPORT TRAY IS MOUNTED TO THE A-FRAME OF THE TRAILER AND HOLDS THE LP BOTTLES SECURELY IN PLACE.
The risk
SHOULD THESE SCREWS FAIL, THE LP BOTTLES COULD COME LOOSE, DISENGAGE FROM THE TRAILER INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IF SIGNIFICANT CONTACT WERE TO OCCUR OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, THE LP TANK OR LINES COULD BE DAMAGED AND POTENTIALLY LEAK LP GAS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE LP BOTTLE TRAY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COACHMEN AT 1-800-453-6064.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 07V084000.
