ODI 11545326

The vehicle is a 2021 Nova C camper van by Forest River. The defective part of the vehicle is the awning. I’ve heard many reports of spontaneous deployment of these awnings and pulled the end cap to check out its condition. To my surprise the motor is loose and the bolts have ground an oval hole in the bracket due to the eccentric movement. The bolts are jammed and the heads slightly stripped, eliminating the possibility of tightening the assembly. I contacted Carefree awning to see if it had been recalled and initially they said yes, that mod…

This vehicle is the chassis for a 2022 Coachmen Nova RB. When driving down the road, my Carefree van awning rapidly extended about 8-10 ft on its own. Fortunately, I was on my street and able to drive and park in my driveway. There were no other cars close on the road or it could have caused a serious accident or hit a pedestrian walking along the road. The awning would not retract and I had to contact a technician to manually retract the awning, zip tie it to the van and I removed the fuse. This has happened to a multitude of other camp…

I parked my 2022 Coachman Nova 20C at the Scenic Overlook on [XXX] at approx 11:15 AM. As I opened the right side sliding door, the CAREFREE, Freedom RM, awning spontaneously extended. The Firefly touchpad next to the door was unresponsive to retracting touch command. Once extended, no attempt to retract the awning myself was effective. No warning of the status of the awning was given. A warning is only given when keys are in the ignition which was not the case. The wind at the overlook caught the awning tossing it up over the vehicle, causin…

We purchased a new 2025 Coachmen Nova class B camper van on August 28th, 2025 from Olathe Ford RV Center in Kansas. On the drive home from the dealership, the van suffered a complete mechanical failure, shutting down while traveling 70 miles per hour at night on a busy highway. The engine, steering, brakes, lights and emergency blinkers failed, causing the vehicle to lose all control and stop suddenly. We were almost hit by passing semi trucks and cars, who couldn't see us in the dark. I managed to start the engine once, accelerating before it …
