Complaint excerpts
The 5 most recent complaints with a narrative. Names, emails, phone numbers, VINs and addresses are removed. Reports are unverified. NHTSA record set for this vehicle (JSON).
The contact owns a 2020 Georgetown Forest River RV built on a 2019 Ford F53 chassis. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V103000 (Equipment) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool showed no open recall.
While driving down [XXX] in Denver the front welds holding the propane tank broke. This left the propane tank at an angle only supported by the rear welds. Was fortunate that another RVer flagged us over and we were able to get off the highway and used a ratchet strap to support it so we were able to drive to get the bracket welded back into place.
While a mobile welder was repairing the cracked rear bracket holding the ASME propane tank (NHTSA complaint #11555667) he repaired another full-depth crack, this one on the actual ASME propane tank mounting flange itself. This flange is welded to the tank by the tank manufacturer. This cracked tank flange is bolted directly to the cracked rear angled mounting bracket reported on Nov. 17, 2023. The tank mounting flange crack was close to an inch long and cracked at a gusset on the rear, outer mount of the tank ("outer" means nearest the propane compartment door). Please see the top and bottom …
Another owner of a 2020 Forest River Georgetown GT5 model 34H5 just posted a pic of a crack at the 90-degree bend in the rear propane tank mounting bracket. This is an ASME tank that can contain 19.5 actual gallons of propane. Previous ASME propane tank mounting bracket cracks reported by owners of Georgetowns were all on the front propane tank mounting bracket and were broken welds that allowed one end of the propane tank to drop almost to the road while driving. They were NOT a crack at the 90-degree bend in the bracket and also NOT on the rear bracket. I just cut three tie wraps to expose …
Our propane tank got detached. Very dangerous. Posted on our Georgetown Facebook page and someone told me this is a known issue and I should report it.
Chassis
No chassis mapping is recorded for this model year. Mappings come only from recall notices that name the chassis, so this is a gap in the record, not a statement about the coach.
