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.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| Forest River Salem | 2024 to 2025 | 2025 |
| Forest River Wildwood | 2024 to 2025 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 132 vehicles this is a small campaign: 66% of the 18,015 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them 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 22 times before this, most recently in June 2024 as 24V490000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5 complaints with NHTSA. 2 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
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 August 22, 2024 as campaign 24V629000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
