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 Aug 13, 2024
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.

Fuel system
Filed May 17, 2025

We bought this MH used; it had 10000 miles registered. We bought it in Florida and started the trip back to Tennessee. We had driven about 100 miles and the check engine warning said the DEF was low. The DEF gauge showed 8.75 gals. When I got to the truck stop I openrd the bay and the guage still showed 8.75 gal. I filled the tank and drove home. I took the MH to TAG, Jackson Tennessee and they checked the computer, it had one recall for something about the air valves which they fixed free. The other was the sensor board on the DEF tank was not working. They replaced the senson at a cost of $2200.00. TAG told me this was a recurring problem and they had fixed many of sensor defaults. I assume the frame manufacturer furnishes the complete assembly, the frame was a Fleetwood. This is a problem that is causing problems and the cost is way to high and will more than likely have to be replaced again.
