History Behind the Recalls
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has released its latest batch of recalls affecting a range of recreational vehicles, travel trailers, motorhomes, and commercial vehicles across several manufacturers. The recalls span labeling compliance issues, seating and structural concerns, electrical risks, and potential drivetrain or braking failures, highlighting the wide range of safety-related defects currently under review across the RV and light commercial vehicle sectors.
As is standard procedure, manufacturers will notify dealers first, followed by owner notification letters outlining the specific safety concerns and remedies. While some recalls involve relatively minor compliance issues, others relate to components that could impact vehicle control, braking performance, or electrical safety if left unresolved.
- One of the smaller recalls involves 100 model year 2026 Winnebago Access travel trailers, where the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) was omitted from the certification label. Although this issue does not directly affect drivability, it fails to comply with federal certification standards and may lead to improper loading. Dealers or owners will receive corrected labels free of charge.
- Grand Design RV has issued two separate recalls. The first affects approximately 150 model year 2026 Solitude and Lineage units equipped with ThermaHeat tank pads that may develop high electrical resistance and fail. A final remedy is still being developed, and interim owner notifications are expected soon.
- A second recall covers 683 model year 2025–2026 Lineage motorhomes, where improperly tightened seat bases on driver and passenger seats may become loose, potentially compromising occupant safety in a crash. Dealers will inspect and tighten the seat bases as needed at no cost.
- A significantly larger recall affects 456,287 vehicles produced by FCA US, LLC, including 2024– 2026 Jeep Wagoneer S models and multiple Ram pickup and chassis configurations. The issue involves an improperly designed trailer tow module that may prevent trailer lights from illuminating or trailer brakes from functioning properly, increasing crash risk. Dealers will replace the tow module free of charge once parts become available.
- Ford Motor Company has also issued multiple recalls. Approximately 1,403 model year 2023– 2024 Transit vehicles may have improperly secured engine crossmembers, which could allow engine movement and potentially lead to loss of drive power or braking performance.
- In a separate recall, 98 model year 2026 E-Transit vehicles may contain missing washers within the high-voltage battery pack, increasing the risk of electrical resistance or arcing. Both issues will be addressed by dealers at no cost to owners.
- Finally, Ember Recreational Vehicles is recalling 317 model year 2026 E-Series and Overland Series travel trailers due to incorrect Unloaded Vehicle Weight and Cargo Carrying Capacity information listed on certification labels. Owners will receive corrected labels by mail.
What Owners Need to Do Next
Owners of affected vehicles should monitor recall notices and schedule inspections or repairs as soon as notification letters are received. All remedies outlined in these recalls will be performed free of charge through authorized dealers. Owners can also verify recall status by entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the NHTSA recall database.
How RV and Vehicle Owners Can Take Back Control
While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
