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.

Other / unspecified
Filed Jul 20, 2026

*The black water tank of our 2024 Forest River NoBo 20.4 was found to be leaking. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the factory installed tank heating pad applied to our black water tank suffered a severe electrical and structural malfunction. The carbon fiber heating element inside the pad was found to be bent, concentrating heat to an extreme degree. The element experienced a high-resistance thermal event, melting completely through the protective heating pad and burning a hole directly through the structural plastic of the black water tank it was applied to. * This created a severe fire hazard for two individuals who had been using the travel trailer at the time of the finding. *This issue is consistent with current NHTSA recalls on this component. RV manufacturers like Grand Design and WInnegago have already issued urgent Federal safety recalls and "Do Not Drive" advisories on vehicles equipped with ThermaHeat pads due to high resistance and severe terminal overheating. *There were no warning lamps or advisories from control panels to indicate the issue and potential danger.
