2021-2024 Coachmen RV Recall 23V286: Fuel Hose Leak

Recall 23V286 covers 1,027 2021-2024 Coachmen motorhomes for a generator fuel-hose clamp defect. Repair is free at any franchised Coachmen dealer.

Coachmen is recalling 1,027 2021-2024 Nova, Beyond, Galleria, Sunseeker, and Forester motorhomes because the generator fuel hose between the inline fuel filter and Injection Pump Module has inadequate clamp force, which can lead to a gasoline leak. A gas leak near an ignition source increases the risk of a fire, and the Coachmen dealer repair is free.

What's wrong?

The Cummins Onan QG 2800i EVAP generator set uses a gasoline hose to carry fuel from the inline fuel filter to the Injection Pump Module. The Injection Pump Module feeds the generator engine, so that hose needs enough clamp force to keep fuel contained while the generator runs and vibrates inside the motorhome.

On affected 2021-2024 Coachmen Nova, Beyond, Galleria, Sunseeker, and Forester motorhomes, the hose between the filter and the Injection Pump Module does not have enough clamp force. Forest River traced the issue to an inadequate fuel hose specification. When the connection does not stay tight, gasoline can leak at the generator fuel line instead of staying sealed inside the fuel system.

The warning sign is gasoline. Bystanders can see fuel or smell gasoline near the generator area before the leak is found. If that happens, treat it as a fuel leak and have the motorhome inspected before using the generator again.

Who's affected?

Spans Coachmen and Forest River badged motorhome lines across the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 model years, all tied to the same generator fuel-system component.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Coachmen technician inspects the generator fuel hose between the inline fuel filter and the Injection Pump Module, then replaces the fuel hose and clamps if needed. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you already paid for a repair within this defect, the vehicle still needs the recall inspection or repair to confirm the correct parts and procedures were used. To request reimbursement, submit the service invoice to Cummins at the address listed in the owner notice.
