Your recreational vehicle may be involved in a safety recall and may create a safety risk for you or your passengers. Safety defects must be repaired by a certified dealer at no cost to you. However, if left unrepaired, a potential safety defect in your vehicle could lead to injury or even death.

What is a recall?
When a manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determines that a recreational vehicle or item of RV equipment creates an unreasonable risk to safety or fails to meet minimum safety standards, the manufacturer is required to fix that vehicle or equipment at no cost to the consumer.
NHTSA releases its most recent list of recalls each Monday.
It should be noted that RV recalls are related to vehicle safety and not product quality. NHTSA has no interest in an air conditioner failing to cool or slide out failing to extend or retract—unless they can be directly attributed to product safety.
NHTSA announced 30 recall notices during June 2021. These recalls involved 17 recreational vehicle manufacturers—Forest River (7 recalls), Keystone (3 recalls), KZRV (3 recalls), Thor Motor Coach (2 recalls), Heartland (2 recalls), Jayco (2 recalls), Grand Design (1 recall), Roadtrek (1 recall), Newmar (1 recall), Triple E (1 recall), REV (1 recall), Genesis Supreme RV (1 recall), Coach House (1 recall), Host Campers (1 recall), Rossmonster Vans (1 recall), Highland Ridge (1 recall), and StarCraft (1 recall).
