What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2005 Drv Mobile, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
WHILE REPLACING MY FIFTH WHEEL'S SHOCKS I FOUND ONE UPPER SHOCK MOUNT COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. I TOOK THE UNIT TO A REPAIR FACILITY WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED AND THE TECHNICIAN FOUND ANOTHER UPPER MOUNT THAT HAD CRACKS EVIDENT THIS WAS ALSO REPAIRED. ALL UPPER SHOCK MOUNTS WERE FOUND TO BE DIMPLED ON THE TOP SIDE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE THICKNESS OF THE FRAME MATERIAL DID NOT SEEM TO BE THICK ENOUGH. HIS SUGGESTED REPAIR WOULD BE TO CUT OUT THAT SECTION OF FRAME AND INSTALL THICKER MATERIAL. *TR
