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 3 vehicles this is a small campaign: 97% of the 19,936 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 473. It covers one model year, 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 equipment 220 times before this, most recently in October 2026 as 26V686000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 26V477000 (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 Forest River, Inc. with NHTSA on October 28, 2026 as campaign 26V715000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
