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.

Body & structure
Filed Jul 16, 2026

The contact owns a 2022 Fleetwood Frontier RV. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the passenger’s side window located next to the entry door was loosened and exposed. The window was a single-pane, frameless model measuring approximately 24X12 inches, which opened from the bottom by a cranking mechanism. Although the window was cranked shut, the wind pressure caused the window to shake violently, almost ripping the window from the frame of the RV. The entry door was not properly fitted to the body of the RV. The contact stated that the cargo bay doors located at the rear of the RV were loosened and unstable. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that the rear bay doors were constructed out of particle board and had only one screw holding the door in place. The contact stated that the doors were exposed to the elements, completely open to the engine compartment, and showed signs of water intrusion. Additionally, the contact stated that none of the exterior doors or door hinges were properly sealed. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 36,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Fleetwood Frontier 34GT. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the passenger's side windshield wiper detached while activated. The contact replaced the passenger's side windshield wiper by herself; however, the failure recurred. The contact then replaced the passenger's side windshield arm and blade. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and recommended replacing the faulty part with a shorter windshield wiper. The failure mileage was approximately 6,200. The VIN was unavailable.

Two incidents happened on our initial RV trip in this new RV. First, in a rainstorm the passenger windshield wiper kept catching on the edge of the windshield and finally broke completely off of the windshield wiper arm leaving the driver with only one wiper during a heavy downpour on an interstate highway. After a new wiper was installed and the arm adjusted to not have the wiper go to the edge of the windshield, a second incident happened. During a rain storm, wind caught the passenger windshield wiper blade and forced it past the side of the edge of the windshield where it caught again and slipped on the arm mount and began turning back and forth off of the windshield. This is a new model RV with top mounted (above the windshield) windshield wipers. To me it appears the top mount design is flawed, or the 36" wiper blades type is not the correct type, or possibly both. Also, about 20-25% of the drivers view is not wiped by this top mount design. Much of the lower left area of the windshield is missed by the sweep of this design. The first incident was reported to the manufacturer with no recommendations from the manufacturer. The contact stated two more incidents happened in 2023 for a total of four incidents. Both times the passenger wiper was pushed by wind while wiping and got caught on the edge of the windshield and broke off but the second incident twisted on the wiper but didn't break.
