What's wrong?
The emergency exit window on a 2022-2023 Forest River Impression is supposed to give occupants a second way out of the trailer. It looks like a regular window, but it is built to open as an escape route when the main door is blocked or unsafe to use.
On affected Impression fifth wheels, Forest River installed a 60 x 29 window that was the same size as the planned emergency exit window, but it was not an egress window. The substitution happened during an emergency exit window shortage. That leaves the trailer without the secondary emergency exit the floor plan was designed to have.
There is no warning sign before failure. The window does not make noise or change how the trailer tows. The practical clue is visual: the installed window does not operate as an emergency exit, so the dealer repair replaces it with the correct egress window.
Who's affected?
Both model years use the same 60 x 29 emergency exit window.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
A missing secondary exit can leave occupants trapped inside during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury. There is no warning sign before an emergency exposes this problem. Schedule the inspection soon, and make sure occupants know the usable exits until the egress window work is complete. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Forest River Impression is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free inspection and egress-window installation that adds the missing emergency exit.
- Bring the recall notice Forest River mailed, or reference recall number 22V667 and Forest River recall 83-1554 when you call.
- Call Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-4995 with questions about scheduling or the free repair.
- Keep existing exits clear and review how to leave the RV in an emergency until the egress-window repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician inspects the Impression fifth wheel for the required secondary emergency exit and installs an egress window if the inspection shows one is missing. The inspection and any needed window installation are free under the recall. If you already paid for a repair within the scope of this defect, Forest River offers a refund process for qualifying costs. Send the service invoice to Forest River's warranty manager so the claim can be reviewed.
