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 1,699 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 64% of the 15,600 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Glaval Bus vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 4 times before this, most recently in October 2016 as 16V749000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V027000 (structure), 24V253000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 23V726000 (equipment), 20V210000 (electronic stability control (esc)).
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 January 25, 2022 as campaign 22V029000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
