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.

Filed Jul 6, 2005

DT: CONSUMER STATES THAT THE HOLDING TANK IS VENTED INTO BATHROOM VANITY INSIDE COACH MOTOR HOME. THIS IS CAUSING DANGEROUS ODORS FROM HOLDING TANK. CONSUMER SAYS THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN VENTED OUTSIDE OF THE COACH. THE ODORS ARE STRONGER WHEN DRIVING THAN WHEN PARKING. THIS IS A SICKENING SMELL AND CAUSES FAMILY MEMBERS TO BECOME ILL. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A HEALTH HAZARD. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO THE ODOR WAS SO BAD THAT FLEETWOOD TOLD CONSUMER TO PUT ICE CUBES AND BAKING SODA INTO THE TOILET. CONSUMER SAYS THAT WAS A TEMPORARY FIX. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, AND FLEETWOOD DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT A SUPERVISOR WOULD CALL HIM BACK. THIS WAS ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO AND STILL NO CONTACT FROM FLEETWOOD. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE DECEMBER OF 2004. THE COACH IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY , AND THE DEALERSHIP STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER IS UNABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT. THE SERVICE IS VERY POOR. THE CONSUMER TRIED THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO GET AN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALERS REFERRED THE CONSUMER TO OTHER DEALERS.*AK

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.
