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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

PURCHASED A BRAND NEW TRAVEL TRAILER FROM GANDER OUTDOORS. TOOK THE CAMPER OUT ON THE FIRST TRIP AND HAD A MASSIVE TIRE BLOW OUT. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A RURAL HIGHWAY, HAPPENED TO NOTICE SMOKE FROM THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR THEN SAW PIECES OF RUBBER FLYING EVERYWHERE. MOVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS A NOT A SINGLE ISSUE, MOST FOREST RIVER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS PUTS THE DRIVERS AND FAMILY OF THE CAMPER AT RISK FOR CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENTS ALONG WITH PLACING OTHER ROAD DRIVERS AT RISK FOR POSSIBLE FATALITIES. *DT CONSUMER STATED WE JUST PURCHASED IT. IT'S A 2020 MODEL. THEY ARE CASTLE ROCKS. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE SIZES I AM ATTACHING PHOTOS OF THAT HELPS FOR IDENTIFYING THEM. WE ARE GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY. THEY ARE STATING WE ARE NOT COVERED FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT.*JB

Generic drawing of a 87A relay wiring diagram for holding tank warmers.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
