Trailer Hitches · NHTSA 15V576000
- Problem
- Forest River, Inc., (Forest River) is recalling certain 2011-2016 Coachmen Pursuit, Mirada, and Encounter motorhomes manufactured from March 1, 2011, through September 11, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the trailer hitch attaching bolts and nuts may not have been properly tightened, allowing the hitch to detach during use.

- Fix
- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a new fastener kit, free of charge. The recall began on October 9, 2015.
