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 49,295 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 89% of the 16,112 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.

Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 163 times before this, most recently in July 2022 as 22V486000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 5 of the 67 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 64 complaints with NHTSA, 13 of them before this campaign was filed. 22 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 55 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V704000 (electrical system), 26V020000 (equipment), 25V682000 (electrical system), 25V111000 (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.
