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 Sep 21, 2005
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.

WE HAVE HAD THREE WHEELS ON OUR 2005 HOLIDAY RAMBLER ALUMASCAPE FIFTH-WHEEL BREAK LOOSE AT THE CENTER PORTION OF THE WHEEL. THESE WERE ALL WHILE WE WERE AWAY FROM HOME ON LONG TRIPS. WE HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE THREE REPLACEMENT WHEELS---NONE ARE ALIKE AT THE TIME, SINCE THEY WERE PURCHASED ON THE ROAD WHERE EVER WE WERE ABLE TO GET ONE TO FIT THE FIFTH WHEEL AT THE TIME. SINCE THIS OCCURRENCE SEEMED ODD TO US, WE CHECKED TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED SHORTLY AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR RV. UNFORTUNATELY, WE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. WE WERE NOTIFIED EACH TIME BY PASSING MOTORIST WHO MOTIONED FOR US TO PULL OVER AND CHECK OUR WHEEL. *TR
