Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 148 travel trailers, specifically the 2024 Coachmen Catalina BCAT154RDX and Forest River Aurora BART15RDX models. During manufacturing, a panel meant to isolate the cooktop from the furnace was not properly sealed, which can cause the burner flames to invert. Dealers will seal the furnace from the cooktop for free to prevent this safety hazard.

Risk

An inverted cooktop flame creates a direct fire hazard within the travel trailer, increasing the risk of property damage or personal injury while cooking.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your travel trailer is affected by checking the model name: 2024 Coachmen Catalina BCAT154RDX or 2024 Forest River Aurora BART15RDX.
