NHTSA RV Recalls – January 2026 Summary

Is Your RV on the Recall List?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released its January 2026 RV recall report, and more than 13,000 recreational vehicles across multiple manufacturers are affected. These recalls include issues ranging from electrical fire hazards to structural failures that could cause injuries during normal RV use.

While recalls vary in severity, they are all issued because the defect could create a safety risk for RV owners or others on the road. If you own an RV from one of the manufacturers listed below, it’s worth checking whether your unit is affected.

Below is a summary of the most important recalls announced for January 2026.

  1. Keystone RV – Ramp Door Failure Risk

Certain 2025–2026 Keystone Fuzion, Raptor, Redwood, and 2024–2026 Voltage trailers were recalled due to a structural problem with the ramp door assembly.

What’s the issue?

The rear ramp door may break away from the door frame during loading or unloading, particularly on toy hauler models.

Why this matters

If the ramp door fails while someone is loading equipment like ATVs or motorcycles, it could lead to serious injuries or property damage.

Recall fix

Dealers will install additional support brackets on the ramp door assembly to reinforce the structure. The repair will be performed free of charge for affected owners.

  1. Tiffin Motorhomes – Overheating Electrical Wiring

Certain 2025–2026 Tiffin Open Trail motorhomes were recalled due to an electrical wiring issue related to the generator system.

What’s the issue?

The wiring harness may contain incorrectly sized wires, which can cause overheating between the battery and inverter systems.

Why this matters

Undersized electrical wiring can overheat and increase the risk of an RV fire if left uncorrected.

Recall fix

Tiffin dealers will replace the wiring harness with properly sized wiring to eliminate the risk.

  1. Forest River – Improperly Wired Electrical Circuit

Forest River also issued recalls involving electrical systems on certain RV models.

What’s the issue?

Some units may have solar panel wiring connected to a breaker without proper over-current protection, which could allow the circuit to overload.

Why this matters

Without proper circuit protection, wiring could overheat and potentially cause an electrical fire.

Recall fix

Dealers will correct the wiring and install appropriate circuit protection to prevent overload conditions.

Additional January 2026 RV Recalls

January’s recall list included more than a dozen recall campaigns across the RV industry, affecting an estimated 13,200 vehicles.

Common issues reported this month include:

  • Electrical wiring hazards

  • Ramp door structural failures

  • Fire risks related to heating pads or electrical systems

  • Improperly wired solar or electrical components

Even though some recalls affect only a small number of units, they should always be addressed as soon as possible to maintain safety and reliability.

What RV Owners Should Do Next

If you own an RV manufactured in the last several years, it’s a good idea to periodically check for open recalls.

Step 1: Check your VIN

Visit the official NHTSA recall lookup tool and search your RV using the VIN.

Step 2: Contact your manufacturer or dealer

If your RV is affected, the manufacturer will provide repair instructions and cover the cost of the fix.

Step 3: Schedule the repair

Most recall repairs are handled through authorized service centers or dealers.
