Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
I HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC FAILURES OF 3 REMINGTON XT120 TIRES. I SUSPECT THERE IS A DEFECT IN MATERIALS OR MANUFACTURING THAT WARRANTS INVESTIGATION. MY BROTHER AND AT LEAST 2 FRIENDS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *JB
CONSUMER STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. MR *JG *JB
I HAVE FOUND THAT YOU HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS (#98V150001), BUT IT ONLY APPLIES TO 1994 -1996 VEHICLES. MY 1992 HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I BELIEVE THAT IT COULD BE THE SOLDER JOINTS AS WELL. THIS ISSUE MAY NOT BE LIMITED TO YEARS 1994-1996. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.*AK
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY. THEY WOULD GO ON/OFF. WOULD COME BACK ON BY THEMSELVES WITHOUT TURNING SWITCH OFF OR ON. PRESENTLY, WILL NOT SHUT OFF RIGHT AWAY AFTER SWITCH IS TURNED OFF. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER TO HAVE VERY POOR VISIBILITY. IT IS AN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT IS GETTING WORSE. HAS NOT BEEN TO DEALER. *AK
DRIVER'S SEATBACK BROKE WHILE DRIVING WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION AND VIN#. *AK
WHILE DRIVING THE SEAT TRACK AND ANCHORS BROKE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO SLIDE FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK
BRAKESS CONTINUE TO FAIL AFTER SEVERAL COMPONENT REPLACEMENTS.
WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK
A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

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.
