What's wrong?
The LP quick disconnect on affected 2021-2023 Coachmen recreational vehicles is a gas fitting in the propane system. It lets LP gas move through the line when equipment is connected, and it is supposed to seal the connection tightly when the system is in use. That seal matters because the fitting sits in the gas path under the vehicle.
On these vehicles, the quick disconnect fitting was damaged before or during assembly. Forest River traced the problem to supplier overtightening, along with brass contamination or porosity that leaves weak spots in the fitting. Those weak spots form cracks, and a cracked fitting lets LP gas leak out instead of staying contained inside the line.
An owner can notice the smell of LP gas near the quick disconnect mounted under the vehicle. That gas odor is the warning sign to take seriously and have the system inspected before using the LP gas system again.
Who's affected?
Spans Coachmen, Forest River, Prime Time, Palomino, Shasta, and East To West RV lines across the 2021-2023 model years, all using the same LP quick disconnect part.
