ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2026-2027 Cedar Creek recreational trailers. The slide switch may have been installed without proper overcurrent protection.
- What it can cause
- A unprotected slide switch can cause the wire to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will re-route the 12V slide switch wiring, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 15, 2026. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-593-4000. Forest River's number for this recall is 20-2105.
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 738 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 55% of the 19,904 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them 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.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 56 times before this, most recently in September 2026 as 26V589000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 26V704000 (electrical system), 26V608000 (structure), 26V336000 (suspension), 25V551000 (structure).
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 16, 2026 as campaign 26V681000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
