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.

Suspension
Filed Aug 2, 2025

On our 2022 American Coach Dream 45A the one of two v-ride suspension bolt failed. There was no warning we had a problem. Upon inspection the second bolt was missing all together. The bolt snapped. The RV could no longer be safely drivable as the suspension would not work properly until both bolts were installed. The bolt was confirmed by a ntts repair man to be faulty possibly torqued incorrectly and he replaced with larger bolts and better nuts/washer. No warnings or error messages from Freightliner chassis other than a loud clunk and inability to shift coach without grinding noise. The RV is serviced annually with Freightliner in Gaffney, SC.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM; EQUIPMENT

The purpose of this Product Upgrade owner notification letter is to inform the owners of certain model year 2019 American Coach Dream and certain model year 2020 American Coach Revolution about Product Upgrade 200515REV. On motorhomes affected by this Product Upgrade, an older revision of the rear pipe section of the Aqua-Hot exhaust may have been installed during production, resulting in a configuration that will make the Aqua-Hot exhaust pipe exit the rear of the coach, below the trailer hitch skid guard. This could cause the exhaust pipe’s chrome tip to become damaged from scraping if the vehicle is driven on an incline.
