Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 4,179 recreational vehicles from the 2024-2025 model years because the removable step assembly may detach.

Affected models include various fifth wheel and travel trailers under the Coachmen Catalina and Forest River Aurora, Cascade, Cedar Creek, Cherokee, Sandpiper, Sierra, Campsite Reserve, Impression, Pause, Puma, Sabre, Salem, Vengeance, and Wildwood brands.
