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 Sep 6, 2007
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.

BOSCH HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES ON 2002 BEAVER MONTEREY MOTOR HOME SUBJECT TO NHTSA RECALL 02V278000. RECALL PERFORMED BY MONACO IN OCTOBER 2004. SUBSEQUENTLY, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIX FAILURES: THERMAL EVENTS CAUSE BY BRAKE LOCK UP. TWO FIRES. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM NOW BEING REMEDIED BY NHTSA RECALL 09V110000. IT IS THE SAME BOSCH BRAKES ON WORKHORSE CHASSIS MANUFACTURED BY NAVISTAR (WHO NOW OWNS MONACO RV, LLC). THEY APPEAR TO BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON...OVERHEATING DUE TO LOCK UP CAUSED BY PHENOLIC CALIPER PISTON ABSORBING MOISTURE AND STICKING. ACCORDING TO INFO AVAILABLE ORIGINAL RECALL REMEDY DID NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF CALIPERS; NEW RECALL APPEARS TO REQUIRE THAT. OLD RECALL SHOULD HAVE BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE. RECOMMEND RECALLING ALL MONACO RVS ORIGINALLY RECALLED BY 02V278000 FOR REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS NOT REPLACED ORIGINALLY. IT IS NOTED THAT SOME OF THE MONACO PRODUCTS RECALLED IN 2004 WERE ON WORKHORSE CHASSIS. HOW MANY OTHER RV CHASSIS USE THE SAME WESTPORT AXLES AND/OR BOSCH DISC BRAKE CALIPERS? IF THEY MERIT RECALL ON ONE RV CHASSIS THEY MOST LIKELY MERIT RECALL ON ALL. AFTER OUR MOST RECENT LOCK UP AND FIRE WE WERE ABLE TO LOCATE BOSCH CALIPER PART NUMBER 415-3222 WITH STEEL VICE PHENOLIC PISTONS. WE HOPE THAT WE HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM; THIS AFTER TWO FIRES AND $5000+ IN REPAIRS. *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.
