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 Apr 1, 1994
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.

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:CARRIER/RACK

Apr 1, 1994
121 units potentially affected
The defect: THE SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY IS ATTACHED TO THE MOTORHOME WITH A CHAIN AND PULLEY MECHANISM. IF INADEQUATE TENSION IS NOT PRE-LOADED INTO THIS MECHANISM, ROAD VIBRATION CAN CAUSE THE FRICTION CLUTCH TO SLOWLY RELEASE OR BACKDRIVE THE MECHANISM, WHICH CAUSES THE SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO SLOWLY LOWER AND CONTACT THE ROAD SURFACE FORWARD OF THE FRONT AXLE.
The risk: IF THIS HAPPENS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AND/OR ROAD OBSTRUCTION COULD RESULT.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SQUARE CHAIN CONNECTOR IN THE MECHANISM'S TIRE SUPPORT CHAIN. ALSO, A REDUNDANT CHAIN, BRACKET, AND CHAIN CONNECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED TO PHYSICALLY CONNECT THE SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE.
