- Book a repair at any authorized Forest River dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 24V103000 (manufacturer code 68-1736).
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Manufacturer hotline: 1-574-206-7600.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
