2012 Cedar Creek Silver Back

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.

WE FIRST NOTICED WE HAD A PROBLEM WHEN WE TOOK OUR CAMPER ON A TEN DAY VACATION MY WIFE NOTICED THE CAMPER SWAYING A LOT ON THE 230 MILE TRIP. AFTER WE SET UP CAMP AND GOING TO COOK DINNER FOUND THE GAS WAS NOT WORKING, AFTER LOOKING AROUND FOUND A GAS LINE BROKEN FROM THE MAIN LINE (3/8 COOPER) I DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME BUT AFTER WE GOT BACK HOME I FOUND ONE OF THE UNDER BELLY PANELS FALLING DOWN SO I PULLED IT DOWN TO LOOK FURTHER. I THEN FOUND THE TWO CROSS MEMBERS BROKEN OVER THE AXLES OF THE TRAILER ALLOWING THE FRAME TO ROLL AND FLEX CAUSING THE CAMPER TO SWAY AND THE GAS LINE TO BREAK. AFTER TALKING TO LIPPERT COMPONENTS THEY TOLD ME TO GET AN ESTIMATE SO I HAULED IT TO THE LOCALE CHASSIS SHOP AND THEY FOUND THE FRAME RAILS BOTH BENT AS WELL AS THE SPRING HANGERS AND THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE TO REPAIR. THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE THE WAY IT WAS BUILT TO BEGIN WITH AS NEITHER COULD I, IT IS WAY UNDER BUILT FOR THE WEIGHT THE CROSS MEMBERS CAME OUT WITH NO TOOLS AS THE WELDS HAD BROKEN OFF THE FRAME. I WILL TRY AND ATTACH PICTURES AND A VIDEO SO YOU CAN SEE AS WELL AS THE EMAILS I HAVE HAD WITH LIPPERT TELLING ME I DID THE DAMAGE.
