- Summary
- Vehicle description: travel trailers. The safety chains do not have an adequate load range to prevent failure in the event the trailer is loaded to the maximum gross vehicle weight rating.
- Consequence
- This could result in the safety chains failing in the event of a separation of the trailer from the tow vehicle hitch which in turn would lead to a loss of control of the travel trailer.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install the correct load range safety chains. Owner notification began July 18, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact coachmen RV at 1-800-453-6064.
- Notes
- Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your Coachmen been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Coachmen dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
