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 May 23, 2013
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.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

May 23, 2013
113 units potentially affected
The defect: Fleetwood RV is recalling certain model year 2013 Bounder Classic and Terra motorhomes manufactured between July 9, 2012 and January 16, 2013. The tire load index letter printed on the Federal Certification Tag is incorrect. Due to the inaccurate label, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Part 567, "Certification."
The risk: The vehicle may be inadvertently fitted with incorrect replacement tires, which could lead tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Fleetwood will mail the corrected tags to dealers and owners. Owners who are not comfortable installing these labels may get them installed at a dealer, free of charge. The recall began on June 20, 2013. Owners may contact Fleetwood Owner Relations at 1-800-509-3418. Fleetwood's recall number is 130417FRV.

WHILE DRIVING THE DASH WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN APPROXIMATELY TWO INCHES. WHEN I CHECKED ALL THE SCREWS SHEARED OFF AND BECAME FREE FROM THE BODY AND WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN. ALSO WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WALL IS COMING APART FROM THE FLOOR OF THE RV. HAD THIS CHECKED AND THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THE FLOOR CAN FALL ONTO THE ROAD. WE CAN SEE THE ROAD FROM BETWEEN THE WALL AND FLOOR. I HAVE TOLD THIS TO FLEETWOOD AND HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU AS WELL WITH NOTHING BEING DONE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE OVER THIS. AND FALL ONTO THE ROADWAY FLEETWOOD NEEDS TO FIX THIS NOW.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY FLOOR SEPARATING FROM THE WALL ABOUT A 1/4 OR MORE.I CAN SEE DAYLIGHT FROM THE ROAD. AFTER FIXING THE SHEARED OFF SCREWS ALL 3 OF THEM ON THE ANGLE PIECE BY THE FIRE WALL MY DASH IS STILL MOVING. FLEETWOOD PUT 3 SCREWS INON BOTH SIDES. I REALLY THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THE DASH FELL 2 INCHES WHEN THEY SHEARED OFF. NOW NO ONE WILL TOUCH THE SEPARATION OF THE FLOOR FROM THE WALL THEY SAY GO TO A BODY SHOP. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FLEETWOOD WITH YOUR POOR WORKMANSHIP BUT I'M SURE YOU DON'T MIND JUST THE MONEY.PLEASE HELP HOW I CAN GET THIS FIXED

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.
