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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

A ANOTHER WINDOW IN THE FRONT DOOR MANUFACTURED BY ATWOOD HAS NOW FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME AND IS CAUSING THE WINDOW TO FOG UP. *TR

THE GAS HAS LEAKED OUT OF THE TWO DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS AND THE THREE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS, CAUSING THEM TO FOG UP. THE WINDOWS ARE SI-GI WINDOWS AND THE COMPANY WILL NOT REPLACE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN DRIVING AND THE SUN SHINES ON THEM YOU CAN'T SEE OUT THEM TO CHECK ON TRAFFIC AROUND THE MOTORHOME. THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

I OWN A 2004 ALFA MOTORHOME. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS I'VE DEALT WITH DEFECTIVE SIDE WINDOWS. THE SEALS BREAK AND FOG THE WINDOWS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE TRAFFIC CLEARLY AT NIGHT. I ALMOST HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE WINDOW MANUFACTURER SAYS THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THEM. IF YOU CHECK THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION IS HAPPENING ON HUNDREDS OF ALFA MOTORHOMES AND WILL RESULT IN SOME DEATHS. THE WINDOW COMPANY SHOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS WINDOWS ASAP. *TR
