Aero Recalls, Complaints & Safety Data

NHTSA safety recalls, owner-reported complaints and investigations, by model and model year · 1998–2002

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. This total counts a complaint once for each Aero model year it names.
7
Safety recallsDistinct NHTSA recall campaigns covering at least one Aero model year. One campaign can cover several models and many model years; it is counted once here.
2
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.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Complaint totals count a report once for each model year it names; recall totals count a campaign once per model.

Recalls apply to specific vehicles, not to every vehicle of a model year. Check your VIN with NHTSA or your manufacturer's dealer to confirm whether a recall affects your vehicle.

02V0630008 Aero models

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRINGON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTALLED IN THE REAR OF THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT COULD CONTACT THE TOP METAL FINS OF THE REFRIGERATOR CONDENSER COIL. THE HEATING COIL AND FINS COULD REACH TEMPERATURES THAT APPROACH THE TEMPERATURE RATING OF THE WIRING, AND THE METAL FINS HAVE SHARP EDGES THAT COULD CUT OR ABRADE THE SHEATHING OF THE WIRING.

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILERVEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRAVEL TRAILERS. THE SIMULTANEOUS USE OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN AND THE COOKTOP PRODUCES NEGATIVE PRESSURE THAT CAUSES THE FLAMES ON THE COOKTOP TO REVERSE. THIS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE BURNER HEAD, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME. IF THE FLAME IS EXTINGUISHED, LIQUID PROPANE (LP) GAS COULD LEAK INTO THE TRAILER.
