The vehicle systems named most often in Coachmen Mirada complaints (one complaint can name several).
In the owners’ own words, as filed with NHTSA. Unverified reports; NHTSA removes personal details before publishing.
The primary component that failed is the transmission system, part of the vehicleâs powertrain, which has exhibited ongoing malfunction since the purchase of the 2021 Coachmen Mirada 35ES. The vehicle has been unsafe to drive due to this unresolved transmission issue, putting the safety of the driver and others at risk. The problem has been confirmed but not fully resolved by Peach State Ford under warranty in 2021, and the vehicle was scheduled for further inspection at Gator Ford; however, repeated delays and refusals to accept the RV have hindered timely resolution. The RV has not yet undergone a complete inspection by the manufacturer or authorized service center due to these issues, b…

The contact owns a 2022 Coachmen Mirada ES RV built on a 2021 Ford F53 Chassis. The contact stated that the rear driver's side and rear passenger's side stabilizer bar brackets supporting the rear axles had fractured in half and were hanging on the ground. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously taken to an unknown dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V731000 (Suspension) however, the dealer informed the contact that no issues were found, and the repair was not needed. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The RV was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 8,964.
The contact owns a 2017 Coachmen Mirada Motorhome built on a 2016 Ford F53 Motorhome chassis. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the carbon monoxide alarm alerted him that there were carbon monoxide fumes inside the RV. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that there was a hole in the firewall caused by exposed engine wires that were not sealed. The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the RV was not diagnosed nor repaired. The dealer informed the contact that it was a defect and referred the contact to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.
The contact owns a 2021 Coachmen Mirada RV. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V202000 (Suspension, Power Train) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Driver side rear sway mount bracket fell off. This is well documented on the internet and has been occurring for many years on the Ford F53 chassis. Sway bar keeps sway and body roll to a minimum while driving. Without the mount, it's ability to prevent sway is diminished. If the bracket fell off during travel, the large solid piece of metal and bolts would have fallen into road and potentially cause an accident or damage to another vehicle.

Repair instructions and other communications the manufacturer sent dealers about known issues. A TSB is not a recall, and the repair is usually free only while the car is under warranty; ask your dealer for the bulletin number.
This is a product service bulletin from Global Link concerning counterfeit keys for entry doors being sold on certain websites. Forest River is reporting as we are sharing with the dealer body.
According to a Furrion TSB "TB-220919": Irregular cooling performance has been reported on the identified refrigerators. The refrigerator compressor has been found to stop working and requires a ÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂhard resetÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂàby disconnecting power to reset cooling operation. On occasion, disconnecting power does not reset operation and the refrigerator requires service replacement of the control boards. This TSB may not be applicable for some vehicles.
As per Lippert's TSB 85-001-2022 There is a potential for some of the Gen1 jack legs on motorized units to bend or deform under extreme side loads. Note: The notification letter did not change. There is a revision to the remedy by Lippert Components. Forest River previously filed this TSB as "511576".
According to Ford's Final Notice of Recall 22V731: "In some of the affected vehicles, the rear stabilizer bar attachment bracket(s) weld-nuts may not be capable of supporting the required joint torque for this application and may have been damaged during the assembly process. During vehicle usage, the weld nuts attaching the rear stabilizer bracket may loosen, and the attachment bracket may break and/or the attachment bolts and the bracket may separate from the vehicle. It is possible that this may result in a road debris hazard."
As per Lippert's TSB 85-001-2022: There is a potential for some of the Gen1 jack legs on motorized units to bend or deform under extreme side loads.
According to the notice from Ford 22S62: In some of the affected vehicles, the rear stabilizer bar attachment bracket(s) weld-nuts may not be capable of supporting the required joint torque for this application and may have been damaged during the assembly process. During vehicle usage, the weld nuts attaching the rear stabilizer bracket may loosen, and the attachment bracket may break and/or the attachment bolts and the bracket may separate from the vehicle. It is possible that this may result in a road debris hazard.
The rear axle may contain an inadequate volume of lubricating oil. An inadequate volume of rear axle lubricant may result in rear wheel bearing damage potentially leading to bearing seizure. Bearing seizure may lead to rear axle or driveshaft failure. A rear axle or driveshaft failure may result in loss of vehicle motive power, loss of transmission park function, and loss of parking brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
Provide an update that would prevent possible message corruption that could take place on the RVC network.
The slide mechanism may not have been installed within optimal operating tolerance.
Per the service bulletin from Dometic ?Dometic Corporation has identified a visual cosmetic defect that has occurred on our Dometic DM2652 refrigerators up in the freezer compartment. This does NOT occur on all units, but may be present on units with serial numbers starting with MB between 805xxxxx and 820XXXXX. The visual cosmetic defect in no way affects the performance, operation, safety, or function of the refrigerator and does not represent a non-compliance issue to one or more of the FMVSS standards or result in a risk of personal injury, death, vehicle crash, or property damage.?
Under certain circumstances the vehicle may lean to one side while empty due to the location of the internal equipment. While this is accounted for during the design, Forest River - Coachmen has developed a shim kit to remove any lean for an owner.
Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation public data (complaints, manufacturer communications, investigations), model years 2010 and later. Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA.
In complaints filed with NHTSA for model years 2010–2023, owners most often name: suspension, power train, structure. 21 complaints are on record.
No. A complaint is an unverified report from an owner. A technical service bulletin (TSB) is the manufacturer telling dealers how to fix a known issue; it is not a safety recall and is usually covered only under warranty. A recall is a formal safety action, and its repair is free.
File a vehicle safety complaint at NHTSA.gov. NHTSA reads every report, and patterns of complaints are what open defect investigations and, eventually, recalls.
