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.

Latest Nov 29, 2022
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.

Failing Trailer Frames

Opened Apr 17, 2023
Closed Jan 14, 2025

On April 17, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Preliminary Evaluation, PE23007, to investigate reports of frame sagging and/or floor collapse, including while in transit, in MY2019-2021 Holiday House, LLC (Holiday House) trailer models 18RB, 24TB, and 27RQ. On April 26, 2023, ODI sent an Information Request (IR) letter to Holiday House.In June 2023, Holiday House submitted an incomplete response to ODI, which only provided very limited build and purchaser information.To date, ODI has received five owner complaints with one trailer showing evidence of the frame collapsing and dragging while in transit.Furthermore, one of the owner complaints included allegations of another 12 failed or failing Holiday House trailers. In October 2023, the owner of Holiday House informed ODI that the company had been closed.Since that time, the owner of Holiday House has not responded to ODI's attempts to obtain further information.According to State of Indiana records, Holiday House was administratively dissolved and inactive as of November 5, 2024. Under these circumstances, ODI is closing this investigation.However, based on available information about the concerns addressed by this investigation, owners of the involved models should have their trailers professionally inspected to verify that the floor and its supporting frame is not sagging and that the floor is strong enough for continued safe use.Furthermore, these vehicles may need additional repairs to resolve safety issues reported under two previous recalls, 22V-067 and 22V-882. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does or does not exist in these or any other Holiday House trailers.Additionally, the Agency notes that the Vehicle Safety Act states: “A manufacturer’s filing of a petition in bankruptcy under chapter 7 or chapter 11 of title 11 does not negate the manufacturer’s duty to comply with section 30112 or sections 30115 through 30120 of this title,” which include the recall provisions of the Act.The Agency reserves the right to take further action as warranted.

Body & structureSuspension
Filed Mar 7, 2023

The frame has broken in several places under the trailer making it unsafe to move. An insurance adjuster has seen the damage and determined it is not an insurance claim, but a manufacturing defect. This damage occurred during normal usage and could have caused an unforeseen collision to happen while in transit, putting my family and other vehicles/people in danger. The damage was only noticed as we unpacked from a camping trip (see included pictures) in late September of 2022. Research into the problem with this trailer revealed there are multiple trailers suffering from the same issue. Pic #1-buckling of trailer box. #2- drooping entire front end. #3/#4-Cracks to frame.
