The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued its weekly list of vehicle recalls. Winnebago is recalling 2024-2025 Ekko motorhomes because the touchscreen may register phantom inputs and turn on the generator unintentionally. Brinkley RV is recalling 2027 Model I trailers because the exterior ladder may not be properly secured. Forest River is recalling 2027 Leprechaun and Freelander RVs because a battery-post-mounted breaker may be missing, leaving the power feed wire without overcurrent protection. Escape Trailer Industries is recalling 2025-2026 Escape E13 F1 trailers because insufficient ventilation around the refrigerator may allow carbon monoxide to build up in the cabin. Chrysler is recalling 2019-2026 Ram 1500 vehicles because the second-row seat belt buckle anchors may have been improperly installed, failing to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210.

Five high-end travel trailers are highlighted.
