History Behind the Recall

Forest River, Inc. has announced a safety recall affecting 502 recreational trailers from its 2025–2026 Spirit and Shasta Oasis lines due to a wiring defect that could lead to electrical arcing and potential fire hazards.

Filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under campaign number 25V610000, the recall highlights inconsistently stripped 30-amp or 50-amp inlet wires used in the trailers’ electrical systems. When the insulation on these wires is not properly stripped, it can create weak electrical connections that may arc, generating excessive heat and increasing the risk of a fire.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

The recall applies to:

  • 2025–2026 Forest River Spirit trailers
  • 2025–2026 Forest River Shasta Oasis trailers

These models are popular among RV owners and travelers looking for compact yet comfortable mobile living spaces. The issue is limited to a specific batch of units, though Forest River has not disclosed exact VIN ranges.

What Owners Need to Do Next

Forest River dealers will inspect and correct the 30-amp and 50-amp inlet wiring as needed, free of charge.

Owner notification letters were mailed on September 19, 2025, and affected vehicles are now listed on NHTSA.gov.
