2002 Four Winds Infinity Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

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.

FOUR WINDS HAD DETERMINED THAT A DEFECT MAY BE PRESENT ON CERTAIN 2002 MODEL WIND SPORT AND INFINITY MOTOR HOMES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JULY, 2001 AND MAY, 2002. ALL MOTOR HOMES THAT MAY BE AFFECTED BY THIS DEFECT ARE IDENTIFIED BY THE LAST FIVE DIGITS OF THE SERIAL NUMBER WITHIN THE RANGE FROM 10200 THROUGH 11232. HOWEVER, NOT ALL OF THE MOTOR HOMES INCLUDED WITHIN THIS RANGE ARE COVERED BY THIS RECALL BECAUSE OTHER FOUR WIND MODELS THAT DO NOT CONTAIN THE DEFECT ALSO HAD THE LAST FIVE DIGITS OF THEIR SERIAL NUMBERS WITHIN THIS RANGE. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MOTOR HOMES SUBJECT TO THIS RECALL IS 356. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE CHASSIS FRAME AND THE MOTOR HOME BODY MAY CAUSE THE COPPER TUBING OR THE MANIFOLD PIPE TO SPLIT OR CRACK. (02V-157). *YH
