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.

1991 FLEETWOOD FLAIR MOTORHOME ROOF AIR CONDITIONER KEPT TRIPPING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER ON A RECENT TRIP. THE BREAKER WAS VERY HOT. I OPENED THE PANEL AND FOUND A LOOSE LINE CONNECTION TO THE CIRCUIT BREAKER BUT NOTICED THAT ALL 110 VOLT WIRING IN MY MOTORHOME IS SOLID CONDUCTOR, NOT STRANDED. EVEN THE DUMBEST ELECTRICAL ENGINEER KNOWS NEVER TO USE SOLID CONDUCTOR WIRING IN A VIBRATION ENVIRONMENT SUCH AS CARS, BOATS, AIRPLANES AND MOTORHOMES. SINCE THE MOTORHOME IS NEARLY 20 YEARS OLD I AM FEARFUL OF FIRE IN THE 110 VOLT WIRING DUE TO FATIGUE OF THE SOLID CONDUCTORS. THE LOOSE CIRCUIT BREAKER CONNECTION MAY BE JUST THE BEGINNING OF A SERIOUS FIRE POTENTIAL.. *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.
