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 Aug 13, 2024
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.

The contact owns a 2021 Holiday Rambler Invicta RV built on a 2020 Ford F-59 Chassis. The contact stated that the rearview camera image failed to display properly. There were no warning lights illuminated. The RV was towed to an unknown local dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The RV was then taken back to the dealer for routine maintenance, and the contact was made aware that the VIN was included in a Service Brake recall and three other unknown recalls. The RV was not repaired. The RV was then towed to an independent mechanic, where it remained awaiting the parts for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.

The front grills on these models are made out of ABS plastic and are inherently weak. They are not durable enough for their designed use. They break at the mounting points and crack down the middle. I know of at least 5 other people that have had the same thing happen to them. REV Group makes another model that is nearly identical called the Fleetwood Fortis where the grill is different and doesn't have this issue. Holiday Rambler will not warranty these grills even though they know they have a problem. The grills only last a year or two and then have to be replaced at a cost of nearly $1,000.

Service Engine Light activated. Spark plug wires burnt and 4 replaced in TX on 5/24/21. Same problem again on 6/14/21. This appears to be a problem with new Ford V8 engine F-53 chassis. We are on cross US trip and trying to get fixed again. Symptom of problem, hesitation in power while driving and concern about burning wires. Also, since happened twice, what are chances happens again? How often are we supposed to keep replacing spark plug wires?
