What's wrong?
The air suspension air line on affected 2023-2024 Coachmen Concord motorhomes carries compressed air to the rear suspension system. That air pressure helps support the rear of the motorhome and keeps the ride height stable while the vehicle is loaded or moving. The system depends on the line staying away from heat and staying sealed.
On affected Concord motorhomes, the air line was installed too close to the exhaust on the inside of the driver-side frame rail. Exhaust heat can damage the line and let air escape. Once that pressure is lost, the rear suspension can drop suddenly because it no longer has the air support it needs.
There is no warning sign before failure. The line can lose pressure without a dashboard warning, noise, or handling clue that gives the driver time to react.
Who's affected?
The 2023 and 2024 Concord model years share the same suspension air line.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
A loss of suspension can cause loss of vehicle control and increase crash risk. There is no warning sign before failure, so schedule the repair soon and limit driving until the air lines and wiring are rerouted away from the exhaust. Repair is free at any franchised Coachmen dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2024 Coachmen Concord is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Coachmen dealer to schedule the free air-line and 12-volt wiring reroute, which moves them away from the exhaust to prevent sudden rear-suspension loss.
- Bring the recall notice if Coachmen mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V850 when you call.
- Call Coachmen customer service at 1-574-825-8602 with questions about the repair.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, since rear-suspension loss can reduce vehicle control.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Coachmen technician reroutes the air suspension air lines and 12-volt wiring away from the vehicle exhaust. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor.
