ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2026 Cascade, Cherokee, and Campsite Reserve recreational trailers. The 7-way connector may have been incorrectly wired to a breaker without over-current protection.
- What it can cause
- Without over-current protection, a short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will correct the wiring, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 4, 2026. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-499-2100. Forest River's number for this recall is 95-2019.
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 247 vehicles this is a small campaign: 58% 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 one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 50 times before this, most recently in October 2025 as 25V682000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 January 23, 2026 as campaign 26V039000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
