What's wrong?
The rear kick panel fins on 2024-2026 Foretravel Realm Presidential motorcoaches are vertical body fins mounted in the rear door area. They help form the rear grill opening and are supposed to stay fixed to the driver and passenger rear kick panel doors while the engine runs and the coach is moving.
In NHTSA campaign 25V406, Foretravel says engine vibration puts repeated stress into those vertical fins. The panels were built without stress relief at the cut lines and without enough support behind the fins, so the upper and lower attachment points can fatigue and crack. If that cracking progresses, a fin can loosen, detach from the rear door area, and become a road hazard for traffic behind the coach.
Owners can look for cracks at the upper and lower attachment points of the vertical fins. Cracking in those areas is the warning sign that the fin is no longer staying secured as designed.
Who's affected?

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
If a vertical fin detaches while driving, it creates a road hazard and increases the risk of a crash. Cracks at the upper or lower attachment points are warning signs. If you see cracking, have Foretravel inspect the coach before your next trip. Repair is free at any franchised Foretravel dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024-2026 Foretravel Realm Presidential is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Foretravel dealer to schedule the free rear-panel fin reinforcement that keeps the fins from detaching while driving.
- Bring the owner letter if you received one. If not, reference recall number 25V406 when you call.
- Avoid unnecessary driving until the repair is complete, since a detached fin creates a road hazard.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Foretravel technician reinforces the rear kick up panel fins so engine vibration does not loosen them from the vehicle. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Foretravel has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for a related repair before the recall notice. Bring documentation of the paid repair to the service desk or contact Foretravel customer service.
