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.

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.

345 units potentially affected
The defect: Allied Recreation Group, Inc. (ARG) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Fleetwood Excursion vehicles manufactured July 16, 2013, to November 5, 2014, and 2015 Holiday Rambler Ambassador vehicles manufactured August 7, 2014, to October 23, 2014. On the affected vehicles, a seat pedestal mounting support bracket may not have been installed according to engineering specifications. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No. 207, "Seating Systems," and No. 210 "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
The risk: An incorrectly installed seat pedestal can cause the seat to detach from the floor, failing to retrain the occupant and increasing the risk of occupant injury in the event of a vehicle crash.
The remedy: ARG will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install a new mounting bracket hardware if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2014. Owners may contact ARG customer service at 1-800-509-3417. ARG's number for this recall is 141117ARG.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
