What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2021 Holiday Rambler Invicta, 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.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Body & structure
Reports naming the vehicle structure, frame, body panels, doors, hood and trim.
From owner reports, verbatim
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.

From owner reports, verbatim
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.

Engine

From owner reports, verbatim
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?

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.
