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.

March 2020, Driver's side low beam lens cracked upon debris impact but still operated. Sealed outside with clear packing tape. July 22, 2023, ordered replacement LED headlights from Kaper II, they had said original lights are not available any longer.

Attached is a copy of the Recall & photos of my lights. Note page 2 of 14 for description of defective headlights that my coach lights match.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

PUB190528REV

EQUIPMENT

The purpose of this Product Upgrade Service Bulletin is to inform all REV Recreation Group dealers about the need to inspect, and if necessary, add a secondary catch to the manual slide-out generator tray on certain Class A diesel motorhomes. On motorhomes affected by this Product Upgrade, the secondary catch system for the manual slide-out generator tray may have not been installed. If the secondary catch system is not present, the steps outlined in this service bulletin may be followed to install a service kit, which includes a secondary latch catch and lanyard with locking pin, as a customer convenience.

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.
