The defect
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.
The risk
If the LP bottle detaches while moving, it can increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install new LP bottle rings, free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8360. Forest River's number for this recall is 110-0738.
