05 The Forest River r·pod in this site’s records
Spec pages: 12 floorplans on the Forest River Forest River r·pod line page, for model year 2026. That year also falls inside the federal record above.
None of the 12 Forest River r·pod 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 R-POD for model years 2010–2012, 2015–2022 and 2024; for 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2021 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 3 of the 14 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.
