Which vehicles

How this campaign compares
At 1,367 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 62% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the latches/locks/linkages once before this, most recently in February 2019 as 19V084000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 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 10, 2025 as campaign 25V364000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
