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

Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 4 times before this, most recently in December 2017 as 17V846000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
