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.

From owner reports, verbatim

THE FRAME/WALLS OF THE 5TH WHEEL CAMPER ARE NOT PROPERLY MANUFACTURED. EXTERIOR WALLS ARE NOT COMPLETELY IN TACT WITH THE FRAME. CAMPER IS NOT STABLE AND CAUSES A HUGE RISK FOR COLLAPSING. PROBLEM WAS FOUND WHEN THE CAMPER WAS BEING REPAIRED FROM A TREE FALLING ON IT. THE SERVICE CENTER HAS BEEN VERY THOROUGH TO CHECK FRAME FOR DAMAGE AND FOUND NO DAMAGE TO THE FRAME BUT DISCOVERED THE EXTERIOR WALL IS NOT GLUED COMPLETELY TO THE EXTERIOR OUT WALL. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER AS THE SERVICE CENTER HAS HALTED REPAIRS AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO PUT THE INTERIOR WALL BACK KNOWING THE EXTERIOR WALL IS NOT PROPERLY CONSTRUCTED.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

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.
