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.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 02V278000 THIS RECALL DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER PERFORMED THE RECOMMENDED REPAIRS. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE CONTINUE TO OVERHEAT AND WE BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION OF THE WEIGHT VS. STOPPING POWER OF THIS BRAKE SYSTEM BE MADE. I CONTINUE TO MAKE REPAIRS, AT MY EXPENSE, ON THIS VEHICLE. THE COST OF THE VEHICLE WAS $224,000.00. ALL OF THE MOTORHOME DEALERS ARE AWARE OF THE POOR BRAKE SYSTEMS. THEREFORE THE VALUE OF MY COACH IS SEVERELY AFFECTED. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER SOLD OUT TO MONOCO CORP. THE NEW MANAGEMENT WILL NOT WORK WITH US TO RESOLVE THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. THEY TELL US (MR. ROBERT RISBURGER) "ITS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS. *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.
