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.

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THE WINDOWS ON THE COACH FOG UP AND IT IS INSULATED GLASS AND IT IS BETWEEN THE TWO PIECES OF GLASS AND YOU CAN NOT SEE THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS . FLEETWOOD HAS KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER THEY COMPLAINED TO HI WAY MAGAZINE. I HAVE HAD THE RIGHT DOOR GLASS REPLACED BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT SEE OUT OF IT AND IT WOULD NOT CLEAR UP UNLESS IN THE RIGHT WEATHER CONDITIONS. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE OF COACH AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND GET THE SAME ANSWER FROM FLEETWOOD AS I HAVE . IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED AND CAN NOT SEE YOU REAR VIEW MIRRORS I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.*CW

NEITHER FLEETWOOD NOR SE-GI IS WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE WINDOW. THERE ARE MANY MANUFACTURERS WHO USE THESE WINDOWS AND THE PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD.

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.
