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 573 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 52% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2025, 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 structure 21 times before this, most recently in June 2024 as 24V386000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V352000 (equipment), 25V707000 (equipment), 25V682000 (electrical system), 25V425000 (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 Forest River, Inc. with NHTSA on June 28, 2024 as campaign 24V490000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
