NHTSA’s units figure is a total for the whole campaign; it is shown on the 4 of 12 campaigns that name the Sandstorm and no other model, and withheld where it would count other models’ trailers.
Filed under another badge: NHTSA lists 25V277000 (model year 2025) under the Stealth name; 20V009000 (model year 2020) under the Shockwave Toyhauler name; 15V771000 (model years 2012–2016) under the Shockwave name; 12V227000 (model years 2010–2011) under the Stealth name only, not under Sandstorm. They are listed because this page follows NHTSA’s records for every name in the badge family (Sandstorm, Stealth, Shockwave, Shockwave Toyhauler); they are not a record of a trailer sold as a Sandstorm.

05 The Sandstorm in this site’s records
Spec pages: 12 floorplans on the Forest River Sandstorm line page, for model year 2026. None of those years falls inside the federal record above, which runs 2008 to 2025.
None of the 12 Sandstorm 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 SANDSTORM, FOREST RIVER SHOCKWAVE and FOREST RIVER STEALTH for model years 2008, 2010, 2012–2014, 2016–2022 and 2024; for 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2018–2020 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 12 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.
