Only a $5M fine for now with up to $30M more if the independent auditor finds any future offenses.

Looks like it was for Rockwood, Flagstaff and Palomino brands:
I assume the independent auditor will be looking at all Forest River brands.

In an article from WNDU TV (a NBC affiliate in South Bend, In) Forest River has been hit with a $5-million fine for violating requirements to report
safety defects and other critical information to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration and could face fines as high as $35M. A link to the online article follows.
