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.

Latest Jan 10, 2008
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.

STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)

Jan 10, 2008
602 units potentially affected
The defect: CERTAIN MOTOR HOME CHASSIS BUILT ON FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS AND EQUIPPED WITH ZF MODEL 8018 STEERING GEARS, THESE GEARS MAY HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH THE INCORRECT RECIRCULATING BALL SPACER. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY ALLOW THE RECIRCULATING BALLS TO ESCAPE FROM THE RECIRCULATING BALL CIRCUIT RESULTING IN A LOSS OF STEERING.
The risk: THE OPERATOR MAY NOTICE HIGHER REQUIRED STEERING WHEEL INPUTS, OR THE NEED FOR MORE STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENTS WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE IN COMBINATION WITH METALLIC CRACKING NOISES PRIOR TO A LOSS OF STEERING. LOSS OF STEERING COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The remedy: ALFA LEISURE IS WORKING WITH FREIGHTLINER AND ZF TO REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR FREE OF CHARGE (PLEASE SEE 07V343 AND 07E049). OWNERS MAY CONTACT FREIGHTLINER AT 1-800-547-0712 OR ALFA LEISURE AT 1-800-373-3372.

LAST YEAR COULD SMELL SOMETHING "HOT" BY THE ELECTRICAL PANELS. UPON CHECKING THE IOTA ITS-50R 50 AMP TRANSFER SWITCH WAS WARM. I CHECKED THE TERMINALS AND FOUND 2 LOOSE ONES. I DID NOT THING MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW I SEE THERE HAS BE RECALLS ON SEVERAL RV'S USING THE SAME SWITCH. MY ORIGINAL MFG, ALFA LEISURE, HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS, HOWEVER, ON THE ALFA OWNERS WEB FORUM, SEVERAL OTHER ALFA OWNERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR SWITCHES BECAUSE OF HOT OR MELTED SITUATIONS. HOW DO WE SEE IF WE CAN HAVE A RECALL INSPECTION ALSO? REF CAMPAIGN 12V060000 AND FOREST RIVER IS RECALLING 850 UNITS. *TR

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. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
