What's wrong?
The egress window on a 2010-2011 Coachmen Catalina travel trailer is the emergency exit window built into the trailer body. Under normal conditions, it opens from inside the trailer so an occupant has another way out if the main door is blocked. That window depends on its seal releasing cleanly when the latch is operated.
On affected Catalina travel trailers, Coachmen used a foam seal with adhesive around the egress window. The adhesive can make the window stick to the surrounding frame. When that happens, the window does not open with normal hand pressure, or it takes more than 20 pounds of pressure to break free. In an emergency, that extra force can slow an occupant trying to exit the trailer.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem shows up when the egress window is opened and it sticks or takes unusual force to move.
Who's affected?
The scope is limited to Catalina trailers with the same body structure component listed for both model years.
| 2010 Coachmen Catalina | body structure |
|---|---|
| 2011 Coachmen Catalina | body structure |
| Units affected | 2,931 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
In an emergency, an egress window that is hard to open can slow escape and increase the risk of personal injury. If your VIN is included, schedule the recall repair and make sure passengers know the other exits before each trip. Repair will be free at any franchised Coachmen dealer once available.
