What's wrong?
The furnace in a 2023-2024 Coachmen Prism is the LPG heating unit that warms the motorhome cabin. Its burn chamber contains the flame and combustion gases, while the heat ducts move warm air through the living space. The cold air return brings cabin air back to the furnace so airflow stays within the furnace maker's requirements.
On affected motorhomes, a manufacturing error left the furnace installation with the wrong cold air return grill, heat duct sizing, and number of heat ducts for the furnace requirements. That changes how air moves through the unit. When airflow is wrong, the furnace overheats and the burn chamber can crack. A cracked burn chamber can let carbon monoxide enter the cabin instead of keeping combustion gases separated from the living space.
Before failure, an owner can notice the furnace short cycling. That means the furnace starts and shuts off repeatedly instead of running a normal heating cycle. Treat that pattern as a warning sign and have the free recall repair handled by a Coachmen dealer.

The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If you have already paid for a repair tied to this defect, the vehicle still needs the recall inspection or repair so the dealer can confirm the correct parts and procedure.
