The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2026 Cedar Creek recreational trailers. The trailers may not have an emergency exit window installed.

The risk

A missing emergency exit window can prevent passengers from exiting in the event of an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

Dealers will install red window operating hardware and an exit sticker for the window, free of charge. All vehicles are still in dealer inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-593-4000. Forest River's number for this recall is 20-1970.

  1. Check your VIN. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls - it shows whether this recall applies to your vehicle and whether the repair has been done.
  2. Call a dealer. Any authorized Forest River dealer will do the repair free, whether or not you bought the vehicle there. Quote campaign 25V551000.
  3. Ask about parts and a loaner. If parts aren't available yet, ask what to do in the meantime.
