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 6,275 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 76% of the 19,925 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2027, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 57 times before this, most recently in October 2026 as 26V681000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V681000 (electrical system), 26V608000 (structure), 26V336000 (suspension), 26V020000 (equipment).
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 22, 2026 as campaign 26V704000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
