05 The Avenger in this site’s records
Spec pages: 4 floorplans on the Forest River Avenger line page, for model year 2026. That year also falls inside the federal record above.
None of the 4 Avenger floorplans here has separate records for two model years, so this site measures no change between years for this line.
Owner documents from the maker: Forest River Owner's Manual.
What was queried: NHTSA’s recall lookup under FOREST RIVER AVENGER for model years 2014, 2018 and 2020–2021; for every one of those years it answered HTTP 400 with a count of zero, which means no entry in NHTSA’s index under that name and year, not that no recall reached those trailers. The complete recall file added 4 of the 9 campaigns above, and every complaint count comes from the complete complaint file.
Counts of NHTSA records matched on NHTSA’s own model field; a complaint is one owner’s unverified report, and an empty year is an empty record, not a clean one (how this record is built). Check a trailer by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you buy.
