COACHMEN SPIRIT (2018) recall — Equipment
Forest River recalls 2018-2019 Coachmen Spirit trailers with cooktops lacking LP quick disconnects. This poses carbon monoxide exposure and fire risks if propane is connected while in use.
Use caution until it’s fixed
If the cooktop does not have an LP hose quick disconnect feature and the cooktop is placed into the vehicle while still connected to the LP supply and with the LP hose in the ON position, users may be exposed to Carbon Monoxide. Additionally, the escaping propane gas may increase the risk of a fire.
