The printed circuit board may fail during certain operations and overheat.
- What it can cause

- Dealers will inspect and replace the printed circuit board as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 19, 2026. Owners may contact Airxcel’s customer service at 574-247-9235 or [email protected] or Kibbi's customer service at 1-574-966-0196.
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 505 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 50% of the 19,798 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 473. 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.
Renegade vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 5 times before this, most recently in December 2022 as 22V951000. 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 Kibbi, LLC with NHTSA on September 5, 2026 as campaign 26V574000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
