The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 2,906 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 70% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Highland Ridge vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 11 times before this, most recently in March 2019 as 19V168000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 21V430000 (equipment), 20V338000 (visibility).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Highland Ridge RV with NHTSA on March 16, 2021 as campaign 21V179000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
