Recall 26V183000

Structure › Body › Step/ladder — Storyteller Overland · reported 24 Mar 2026 · 74 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Storyteller Overland, LLC (Storyteller) is recalling certain 2024-2026 GXV Hilt recreational vehicles. The entry door position switch may not make adequate contact to read that the door is closed, which allows the steps to deploy unexpectedly.

The risk

Steps extending while in transit increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will install a ground signal to the door switch circuit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 29, 2026. Owners may contact Storyteller customer service at 1-888-999-7442.
