What's wrong?
The electronic control module, or ECM, on 2022-2023 Coachmen Galleria, Nova, and Beyond recreational vehicles is the control box that takes commands from the interior switches and sends signals to powered equipment. In this recall, that equipment includes the exterior awning, which uses the ECM command to extend or retract while the RV is parked.
The problem is in the ECM software, not the awning fabric or arms themselves. The programming issue allows the control interface to trigger the awning without an owner command, so the awning can extend or retract on its own after the vehicle is parked. The corrected ECM programming removes that unintended awning activation.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not expect a warning light, sound, or control-panel message before the awning moves on its own.
Who's affected?
Spans three motorhome lines across the 2022 and 2023 model years, all tied to the ECM 7000701 electronic control module.

What's the safety risk?
An awning that extends or retracts without command puts people near the vehicle at risk of injury. There is no warning sign before it moves, so keep people clear of the awning area until the ECM update is completed. Repair is free at any franchised Coachmen dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Coachmen Galleria, Nova, or Beyond recreational vehicle is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Coachmen dealer to schedule the free ECM software update that fixes the unintended awning movement.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. Reference recall number 22V737 when you call.
- Avoid standing under or near the awning until the ECM software update is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Coachmen technician updates the Electronic Control Module software so the multiplex controller no longer commands the awning to extend or retract while the vehicle is parked. The recall repair is free, with the update and labor covered by Coachmen. Forest River used its general reimbursement plan for this campaign, so owners who already paid for an ECM software repair tied to this condition can submit documented expenses through Coachmen customer service. Bring repair invoices and payment records to the service desk or contact Coachmen before the appointment.
