Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

PUB-190723REV-Lo

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY

The purpose of this Product Upgrade Service Bulletin is to inform all REV Recreation Group dealers about the need to inspect, and if necessary, install rivets to supplement the existing fasteners attaching the vertically mounted Carefree Longitude? patio awning to the sidewall on certain Fleetwood and Holiday Rambler brand Class A and Class C gas motorhomes. In addition to the fastener inspection, certain vehicles equipped with these awnings and measuring 20 feet and longer may require the addition of a center awning support brace. On affected motorhomes manufactured 9/5/2017 - 6/27/2019, incorrect fasteners may have been used to secure the Carefree Longitude? awning legs to the sidewall. If this condition exists, there is a possibility of premature failure of the awning and/or its components. On affected motorhomes manufactured 9/11/2017 - 7/23/2019 and equipped with a Carefree Longitude? awning 20 feet or longer (measured from the center of the awning legs), the required center awning support brace may have been omitted during awning installation at the factory. Without this support brace, there is a possibility of premature failure of the awning and/or its components.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
