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.

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 Bus, LLC with NHTSA on October 23, 2026 as campaign 26V705000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
