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.

What this page shows

Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2013 Heartland Road Warrior, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.

Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

report

From owner reports, verbatim

WHILE DRIVING ON I-75 IN FLORIDA, LESS THAN 20 MILES INTO THE DRIVE, I HAD A BLOWOUT CAUSING 4000 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE TRAILER. THE TIRE WAS A POWERKING TOWMAX 235/80/R16. THE TIRE PRESSURES WERE VERIFIED AT 80 PSI BEFORE THE TRIP. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME ON THE RV WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW, AND THERE WERE NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR BEFORE THE TRIP. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. *TR
