STRUCTURE
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021-2022 XLR Toy Hauler recreational vehicles. The protective panel that separates the furnace and furnace components from the mid-deck cargo area is missing.
- What it can cause
- Cargo could contact the furnace wiring and other components, resulting in an electrical short and increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a felt-covered wall panel, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 1, 2021. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-642-0432. Forest River's number for this recall is 79-1432.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
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 125 vehicles this is a small campaign: 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the structure 13 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V378000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 18 complaints with NHTSA, 5 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V727000 (equipment), 22V556000 (equipment), 22V243000 (equipment), 22V143000 (equipment).
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 Forest River, Inc. with NHTSA on October 22, 2021 as campaign 21V830000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
