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 Dec 4, 2008
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.

I DROVE MY CLASS A MOTORHOME UP MY DRIVEWAY AFTER DUMPING MY GREY WATER TANK. I WENT TO EXIT THROUGH THE ONLY DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN NO MATTER WHAT I DID. I HAD TO CRAWL OUT OF A WINDOW TO GET OUT NEARLY INJURING MYSELF. IT HAS BEEN 6 HOURS AND I HAVE REPEATEDLY TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND IT WILL NOT OPEN. HAD THERE BEEN A FIRE OR EMERGENCY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A REAL PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS A TRIMARK LOCK. *TR

REFERENCE: REPORT RECEIPT DATE: MAR 17, 2005 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V092000 COMPONENT(S): TRAILER HITCHES I PURCHASED A USED COACHMEN MIRADA MOTORHOME ON APRIL 23, 2013. AFTER PICKING UP THE MOTORHOME, I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS ONE ON THE "HITCH BRACKET ASSEMBLY". IN CONTACTING THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN COMPLETED AND THAT I COULD CALL COACHMEN FOR CONFIRMATION. WHEN I CALLED COACHMEN THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD NOT TALKED TO ANYONE AT THE DEALER AND COULD NOT CONFIRM IF MY UNIT HAD BEEN CHECKED AND/OR REPAIRED. THEY STATED THAT FOREST RIVER RV PURCHASED COACHMEN RV AND THEY WERE PROHIBITED TO DISCUSS ANY RECALLS OLDER THEN 2009. I AM AT AN IMPASSE AS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MY UNIT IS AFFECTED. I HAVE HAD ANOTHER RV DEALER CHECK IT AND GAVE THEM INFORMATION COPIES (SEE ABOVE) OF WHAT I COULD FIND ON THE INTERNET. THEY HAVE TRIED CONTACTING COACHMEN AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY LUCK IN GETTING AN ANSWER. AS THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL, THIS SECOND DEALER SAID THAT I SHOULD NOT TOW ANYTHING OR USE THE HITCH UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED, I FEEL THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. *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.
