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 479 vehicles this is a small campaign: 50% of the 16,667 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 481. It covers one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Holiday Rambler vehicles have been recalled over the latches/locks/linkages once before this, most recently in December 2013 as 13V625000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V565000 (electrical system), 25V121000 (engine and engine cooling), 24V610000 (equipment), 24V607000 (structure).
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 REV Recreation Group with NHTSA on March 14, 2023 as campaign 23V166000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
