2021 Coachmen Catalina recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 Catalina 184BHS and 184 BHS-W travel trailer recreational vehicles. The interior plates that clamp the slide-mechanism to the interior wall were installed incorrectly, which may cause the slide-room to partially detach during transit.
💥 The risk
Slide-room detachment while the vehicle is moving can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
🔧 The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the interior plates for the slide-room, and replace the exterior column screws, free of charge. The recall began March 11, 2021. Owners may contact Catalina customer service at 1-574-825-4995. Forest River's number for this recall is 203-1300.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
