Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

TRAILER HITCHES

Jan 13, 2023
34 units potentially affected
The defect: ABS Remorques (ABS) is recalling certain 2014-2023 RC, WC, LRC, and LWC semi-trailers. The coupling plate may deteriorate, resulting in failure of the king pin and trailer detachment.
The risk: A detached trailer cannot be controlled and may overturn or obstruct the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Semi-trailer owners are advised to inspect for any coupling plate or king pin damage prior to operation. If damage is found, owners should not operate the trailer until it has been repaired. ABS authorized service facilities will replace the coupling plates, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 2, 2023. Owners may contact ABS customer service at 819-879-6216.

Fire reported

The contact owns a 2023 Arctic Cat Snowmobile. The contact stated that while starting the snowmobile on the trailer in the driveway, the snowmobile ran for approximately 3-5 seconds and then backfired and caught on fire. The snowmobile was removed from the trailer to prevent the trailer from also catching on fire. The contact stated that before attempting to restart the snowmobile, there was grayish black smoke coming from under the engine cover and there were flames under the snowmobile. The fire was extinguished with snow, and a handheld fire extinguisher because the water hose was frozen. The contact stated that the plastic wind screen and the instrument cluster was melted. There was no other fire damages outside the engine compartment. The contact believed that the snowmobile was a total loss; however, the Insurance Provider had not yet deemed the snowmobile a total loss. The snowmobile was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be inspected or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,002.
