Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Fuel system
Filed Dec 30, 2025

The fuel system, especially the fuel vent system is improperly installed preventing fueling of the vehicle. This line fails to vent and is pinched, causing fuel leaks and risking fire hazard. The vehicle is unable to be fueled properly, also impacting ignition and reducing fuel flow to the engine whole driving. This is a known issue with other identical vehicles having been recalled. However this vehicle has not been recalled and the dealers are selling this vehicle with a known safety hazard while lying about having fixed the issue. Our safety is at risk because the line may be pinched or punctured creating a fuel leak. Fueling the vehicle results in splashback of fuel on to the person pumping. Poor venting could result in sputtering or stalling while driving at highway speeds. The problem was reproduced by the selling dealer, by the preparation technician, acknowledged by the dealer, and again acknowledged by the Ford service technician. The Ford dealership is the only one to acknowledge that this is a problem that needs to be repaired, even though the problem was created by the RV manufacturer. Everyone is aware of this issue at the RV dealership, at the Forest River and East to West manufacturing plants as well as local ford dealerships. They are willfully selling this vehicle despite the known risk to our family's safety as well as everyone else on the road. All Ford F600 RVs made by any branch of forest river, including Dynamax and East to West should be recalled for all VINs until they hold their manufacturing team accountable for doing this correctly.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

512054

According to FORD Recall 26C10/26V104: "It is possible that the trailer module (TRM) may lose communication at vehicle start-up. If a TRM loss of communication occurs and a trailer is connected to the vehicle, trailer stop lamps and turn signal indicators will not function. Additionally, for trailers equipped with electronic trailer brakes, the trailer brakes will not function. This loss of communication can occur with-or-without a trailer connected to the vehicle and can only initiate at vehicle start-up. If this occurs, a “Trailer Brake Module Fault” notification will pop-up on the vehicle’s instrument panel cluster."

This is a product service bulletin from Global Link concerning counterfeit keys for entry doors being sold on certain websites. Forest River is reporting as we are sharing with the dealer body.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
