Problem Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 Catalina 184BHS and 184 BHS-W travel trailer recreational vehicles. The interior plates that clamp the slide-mechanism to the interior wall were installed incorrectly, which may cause the slide-room to partially detach during transit. Risk Slide-room detachment while the vehicle is moving can increase the risk of a crash or injury. Fix Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the interior plates for the slide-room, and replace the exterior column screws, free of charge. The recall began March 11, 2021. Owners may contact Catalina customer service at 1-574-825-4995. Forest River's number for this recall is 203-1300.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 203-1300 is the number Coachmen assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 21V128000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.
