05 The Cedar Creek in this site’s records
Spec pages: 19 floorplans on the Forest River Cedar Creek line page, for model years 2022 and 2027. Each of those years also falls inside the federal record above.
None of the 19 Cedar Creek 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 CEDAR CREEK for model years 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011–2012, 2014, 2017–2023 and 2025. The complete recall file added 5 of the 21 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.
