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 Jul 21, 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.

SPARE TIRE RACK PULLED COMPLETELY OUT OF BACK OF MOTOR HOME. IF MY TRAILER HITCH HAD NOT BEEN ON THE MOTOR HOME IT WOULD HAVE BROKEN OFF IN THE PATH OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. HAD BEEN A RECALL, CARRIED TO DEALER, DEALER SAID THEY WOULD FIX. FLEETWOOD SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE SPARE TIRE RACK BUT NOT THE OTHER DAMAGE. DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T PUT IT ON THE MOTOR HOME. CONCERN ABOUT THE OTHER MOTOR HOMES THAT HAVN'T BEEN REPAIR. THE OTHER DAMAGE IS TO THE COVER THAT HAS A AIR-BRUSH PAINTING THAT I HAD DONE.
