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.

BrakesElectrical
Filed Jul 3, 2024

RV batteries (Go Power brand) went into standby mode. The following morning, after the RV was plugged into shore power (50-amp) all night, batteries did not charge leading to complete loss of brakes while tv was hooked to truck. Brinkley RV failed to identify issue or issue safety bulletin/recall to owners. Incident occurred in May 2024 in Indiana. Brinkley serviced the RV following the incident and could not provide an explanation or solution. RV was almost unstable in a safe time/distance due to loaded weight of 20,000 lbs at time of rv brake failure. No warnings inside truck indicated loss of trailer brakes. Brinkley and Camping World in Richmond, IN both verified truck was not the cause for brake system failure and that power was going to RV and brake system.

STRUCTURE:BODY

This is a revised version of a previously distributed instruction outlining sidewall repair instructions in the event there are cracks in the sidewall of a unit.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Brinkley RV has determined that some Brinkley RV model G FWs equipped with a Rockford Fosgate audio system may, under certain circumstances, experience a buzz, or a hum sound thorough the speakers in one of the audio “zones” in the RV. This is typically caused by interference from light dimmer switches in the RV. Brinkley will pay to inspect, and if necessary install a Ground Loop Isolator in-line in the audio equipment to eliminate the interference.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
