What is wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2026-2027 Cedar Creek recreational trailers. The slide switch may have been installed without proper overcurrent protection.

The risk

A unprotected slide switch can cause the wire to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

Why electrical defects matter: A short circuit is a fire risk and a module fault can switch off systems the driver depends on.

The remedy

Dealers will re-route the 12V slide switch wiring, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 15, 2026. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-593-4000. Forest River's number for this recall is 20-2105.

What to do

  1. Enter your VIN in NHTSA’s lookup (below) to confirm that your vehicle is included and that the repair has not already been done.
  2. Call a dealer for the brand and book the repair. Quote NHTSA campaign 26V-681 and the manufacturer’s number 20-2105.
  3. If you notice burning smells, flickering power or warning lamps, have the vehicle checked before continuing to use it.
  4. 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.
