RV recalls and service bulletins

Check your own unit

Start with the federal lookup. It takes a VIN, or a year, a make and a model, and returns the recalls, complaints and investigations filed against that unit. Two makers run their own lookup as well.

• NHTSA recall lookup keyed by VIN, or year and make and model
  Search recalls for a specific unit. Enter a VIN, or browse by year, make and model, and see the complaints and investigations filed against it. Free, no account.

Recalls you can read in full

The campaign number is the thread through a recall: the federal report, the maker's own notice and any repair instruction all carry it.

• Forest River recall report, campaign 24V047 keyed by campaign number
  The federal report for a furnace that could overheat and crack its burn chamber, covering certain 2023 and 2024 Prism Class C motorhomes.

  The letter Grand Design mailed to owners, published one per campaign: a MaxxAir roof ventilation fan whose control board can overheat.

Service bulletins

A recall is a safety defect. A service bulletin is the maker telling its dealers how to deal with something, and the federal government collects them alongside the recalls. Almost nobody in the RV world links them.

• NHTSA manufacturer communications, 2025 to 2026 keyed by make, model, model year and component
  Every manufacturer communication filed in the window, including the RV makers, as one federal file. 2,063 of its 769,391 records are from RV manufacturers.

• NHTSA manufacturer communications, field layout keyed by field layout
  What each column in the file above means, so a bulletin can be matched to a make and a model year before it is read.

• Grand Design service bulletin, slide water intrusion keyed by document id
  One bulletin out of that file, as an example of what the record holds: the slide may not fully retract at the bottom on 25FW Lineage models built between 6 May 2024 and 25 July 2025.

Appliances and components

The fridge, the water heater, the generator and the portable heater are consumer products before they are RV parts, so they are recalled through a different agency.

• US Consumer Product Safety Commission keyed by product
  Recalls for the appliances that go into an RV. A fridge, a water heater, a generator and a portable heater are consumer products first, and CPSC covers them separately from the vehicle.

Canada

Canadian recalls run as their own campaigns, with their own numbers.

• Transport Canada vehicle recalls keyed by make, model and year
  The Canadian recall database by make, model and year. Worth a look if the unit was built for or sold into Canada, where the campaign number is different.

• Transport Canada recalls programme keyed by n/a
  The programme page that leads into that database and sets out what it covers.
