Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Filed Jul 23, 2026

The contact owns a 2026 Forest River Coachmen Adrenaline. The contact stated that while using the generator to activate the A/C system, the carbon monoxide detector alarm alerted the contact's brother of possible carbon monoxide in the RV. The contact's brother attempted to wake the contact, but he was disoriented and did not wake up immediately. The contact and his brother safely exited the RV, but medical attention was not received. The RV was taken to the dealer, who determined that the generator exhaust system had failed. The contact was informed that the RV would be towed to a muffler repair shop for the exhaust system to be rerouted with a factory-modified exhaust system; however, the RV was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 500.
