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.

14 units potentially affected
The defect: Allied Recreation Group. Inc. (Allied) is recalling certain model year 2015 American Coach-brand American Eagle, American Tradition and American Revolution motor homes equipped with certain Villa ISS powered driver and passenger GSK seats. The seat belt attachment may be incorrect and the seat belt may fray if it rubs along a steel bracket in the seat, reducing its strength. As such, these seats do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
The risk: The weakened seat belt may fail to properly restrain the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy: Allied will notify owners, and dealers will reinstall the seat belts using new fasteners. In addition, the seat belt webbing of the affected seats will be inspected and will be replaced if damage has resulted from an incorrect installation. Inspections and necessary repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 8, 2014. Owners may contact American Coach customer service at 1-800-435-7345.

Filed Apr 22, 2018

MY ENTRANCE DOOR WILL LOCK SOMETIMES WHEN WE LEAVE THE MOTOR COACH AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE FOB OR THE DOOR KEY, SO WE CANNOT GET BACK INTO THE COACH. WHEN WE LOCK THE DOOR WITH THE FOB, THE DOOR WILL LOCK AS IT SHOULD. BUT UPON RETURN TO THE COACH THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE FOB OR KEY. THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS MADE BY TRIMARK COMPANY. I HAVE CALLED THE COMPANY SEVERAL TIMES, AND THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT I SHOULD ONLY USE THE FOB AND IT SHOULD NOT OCCUR. IT STILL OCCURS WITH THE FOB. THE COACH IS ALWAYS PARKED IN A SAFE POSITION. *TT *TR
