ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Brinkley RV (Brinkley) is recalling certain 2026 Model Z trailers. The shore power inlet lugs may have been improperly tightened.
- What it can cause
- The wires may loosen and overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and properly tighten the lugs as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 2, 2026. Owners may contact Brinkley's customer service at 1-574-501-4280. Brinkley's number for this recall is REC-2601.
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 48 vehicles this is a small campaign: 78% 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.
Brinkley RV vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 3 times before this, most recently in July 2025 as 25V497000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 26V334000 (suspension).
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 Brinkley RV with NHTSA on January 23, 2026 as campaign 26V043000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
