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 4,480 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 73% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 178 times before this, most recently in February 2024 as 24V137000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 26 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V771000 (equipment), 24V395000 (equipment), 24V202000 (electrical system), 24V137000 (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.
