- The defect
- Brinkley RV (Brinkley) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Model G fifth wheel trailers. The solar panels may have been incorrectly wired, which can overload the circuits and cause the wiring to overheat.
- What it can cause
- Overheated wires increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will rewire the solar power system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 29, 2024. Owners may contact Brinkley customer service at 1-574-501-4280. Brinkley's number for this recall is REC-2404.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
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 1,319 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 61% 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.
Brinkley RV vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in September 2024 as 24V717000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 25V286000 (structure), 25V042000 (equipment), 23V664000 (electrical system).
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 Brinkley RV with NHTSA on October 21, 2024 as campaign 24V786000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
