How this campaign compares
At 357 vehicles this is a small campaign: 53% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. 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 equipment 191 times before this, most recently in November 2024 as 24V847000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 24V912000 (equipment), 24V722000 (exterior lighting), 24V721000 (equipment).
Check your own car
