- What it can cause
- A damaged tire can fail and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install taller shackles and equalizers, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 19, 2024. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-503-831-5410. Forest River's number for this recall is 22-1789.

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 45 vehicles this is a small campaign: 79% of the 17,783 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 471. It covers one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 26 times before this, most recently in January 2024 as 24V029000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V352000 (equipment), 25V682000 (electrical system), 24V629000 (structure), 24V628000 (tires).
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 June 3, 2024 as campaign 24V388000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
