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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 COACHMEN LEPRECHAUN MOTOR HOME. WHILE DRIVING GREATER THAN 35 MPH, THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE VEHICLE MOVED FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER TOO MUCH. HE TOOK THE MOTOR HOME TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING BOX; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE COACHMEN BODY WAS TOO OVERLOADED FOR THE FRAME, WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO DIP DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE FRAME SHOULD BE MADE WITH DIFFERENT SPECIFICATIONS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
