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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Apr 12, 1995
365 units potentially affected
The defect: THE WIRING TO THE BREAKAWAY SWITCH LOCATED ON THE PARK TRAILER A-FRAME WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED. THIS SWITCH ACTIVATES THE TRAILER BRAKES IF THE PARK TRAILER BECOMES DISCONNECTED FROM THE TOW VEHICLE DURING TOWING.
The risk: IF THE PARK TRAILER WERE TO BECOME DISCONNECTED DURING TOWING, THE TRAILER BRAKES WOULD NOT BE ACTIVATED INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FORA VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The remedy: OWNERS WILL BE SUPPLIED WITH A KIT AND INSTRUCTIONS TO CORRECT THE WIRING OF THIS SWITCH. IF OWNERS PREFER, THEIR DEALER CAN PERFORM THE REWIRING OF THE SWITCH FOR THEM WITHOUT CHARGE.

7,200 units potentially affected
The defect: THE INDICATOR DEVICE WAS NOT ATTACHED PROPERLY TO THE REGULATOR ALLOWING THE INDICATOR TO BE PARTIALLY OR COMPLETE DISPLACED.
The risk: IF THE INDICATOR IS NOT FULLY ATTACHED TO THE REGULATOR, THE INDICATOR CAN LEAK LP GAS AND RESULT IN A FIRE IF IGNITED.
The remedy: MARSHALL GAS CONTROLS WILL PROVIDE A NEW PROPERLY MANUFACTURED REGULATOR FOR DEALERS TO INSTALL ON THE AFFECTED TRAVEL TRAILERS.

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER

Mar 22, 1994
142 units potentially affected
The defect: THE STOVES INSTALLED IN THE TRAVEL TRAILERS WERE MANUFACTURED FOR NATURAL GAS OPERATION AND WERE NOT CONVERTED TO PROPANE GAS OPERATION. USE OF A NATURAL GAS STOVE WITH PROPANE GAS FUEL WILL CREATE A HIGH LEVEL OF CARBON MONOXIDE.
The risk: HIGH CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS IN THE TRAVEL TRAILER INTERIOR CAN RESULT IN ASPHYXIATION OF THE OCCUPANTS.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL CONVERT THE STOVES FOR PROPANE GAS BY MAKING ADJUSTMENTS WHERE NECESSARY.

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.
