ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Storyteller Overland, LLC (Storyteller) is recalling certain 2026-2027 MODE and 2026 GXV HILTS vehicles equipped with certain MaxxAir N-Series Maxxfan rooftop ventilation fans. The printed circuit board may fail during certain operations and overheat.
- What it can cause
- An overheated printed circuit board increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Storyteller will inspect and replace the printed circuit board as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 30, 2026. Owners may contact Storyteller customer service at 1-888-999-7442.
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 169 vehicles this is a small campaign: 63% 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 model years 2026 to 2027, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Storyteller Overland vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 7 times before this, most recently in June 2026 as 26V392000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V392000 (electrical system), 26V183000 (electrical system), 25V588000 (electrical system).
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 Storyteller Overland with NHTSA on September 1, 2026 as campaign 26V566000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
