ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Forest River Aurora, Coachmen Catalina, 2026 Coachmen Viking, Coachmen Clipper, 2016-2026 Wildwood, and Salem recreational trailers. The distribution panel wire may be connected to the battery without over current protection.
- What it can cause
- Unprotected wiring can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will relocate the distribution panel wire to the correct side of the breaker, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 18, 2025. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-4995. Forest River's number for this recall is 205-1987.
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 20,305 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 84% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 9 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 49 times before this, most recently in September 2025 as 25V610000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 12 of the 28 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 94 complaints with NHTSA, 91 of them before this campaign was filed. 16 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2016, 9 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 38 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V439000 (equipment), 26V352000 (equipment), 25V728000 (structure), 25V708000 (equipment).
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 October 10, 2025 as campaign 25V682000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
