Coachmen is recalling 124 2011 Northridge, Chaparral, and Brookstone fifth-wheel trailers equipped with Atwood 35 Series range ovens because the gas line to the oven cavity burner can fracture and leak propane. A propane leak near an ignition source raises the risk of fire or explosion, and the Coachmen dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The Atwood 35 Series range oven in the 2011 Coachmen Northridge, Chaparral, and Brookstone is the propane-fired cooking appliance installed inside the fifth wheel trailer. A gas delivery line feeds propane to the oven cavity burner, where the burner uses that fuel to heat the oven.
On affected trailers, that gas line has a small fracture inside the line that supplies the oven cavity burner. Instead of keeping propane sealed inside the line until it reaches the burner, the fracture can let propane escape into the oven area. The filing does not identify a separate owner-caused issue or maintenance step behind the fracture.
There is no warning sign before failure. If you smell propane near the range oven or inside the trailer, shut off the propane supply, ventilate the area, and do not use the oven until the recall repair is complete.
Who's affected?

A matching 2011 Coachmen model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A propane leak near an ignition source can start a fire or explosion, causing property damage or personal injury. If you smell propane or suspect a leak, turn off the propane supply, keep ignition sources away, and arrange service before using the stove again. Repair will be free at any franchised Coachmen dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 Coachmen Northridge, Chaparral, or Brookstone fifth-wheel trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Coachmen dealer and ask when the free Atwood 35 Series range-oven repair is available for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 10V508 when you call, and tell the dealer the recall covers a propane-gas line fracture inside the oven burner system.
- Bring the recall notice if Coachmen mailed one to you.
- Avoid using the oven until the gas-line inspection and stove repair or replacement is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Coachmen technician checks the Atwood 35 Series range oven and the gas line that feeds the oven cavity burner. The known remedy is to repair the stove or replace it, with parts and labor free under the recall once the work is open for your VIN. Coachmen listed the safety recall start date as October 28, 2010. The filing does not state a separate reimbursement program.
