What is wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2026 Prime Time Crusader recreational trailers. The waste water holding tank ventilation pipe may end inside the trailer, allowing sewer gas to enter the cabin.
The risk
Sewer gas inside the vehicle may increase the risk of injury.
Why equipment defects matter: The risk depends on the part — a gas leak is a fire risk, while a lift or ramp failure can injure the person using it.
The remedy
Dealers will install the vent pipe and roof cap, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 14, 2026. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-4995. Forest River's number for this recall is 49-2057. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning June 19, 2026.

- Safety recall repairs are carried out free of charge by the manufacturer’s dealers. If you already paid for this repair yourself, ask the manufacturer about reimbursement and keep your receipt.
Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every vehicle of a model year. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
