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 Oct 19, 2000
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.

Crash reported

SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE ALUMINUM WHEELS ON A ROADTREK MOTORHOME. *MR THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ALUMINUM WHEELS, BUT THE SALES DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THE VEHICLE HAD COME EQUIPPED WITH STEEL WHEELS. THE CENTRAL HOLE OF THE AXLE IN THE ALUMINUM WHEEL WAS 1.5 MM LARGER THAN THE SIMILAR HOLE IN THE NEW STEEL WHEELS. THE NEW STEEL WHEELS FIT TIGHTLY ON THE AXLE. THEY CONCLUDED THAT THE WEIGHT WAS ENTIRELY ON THE STUDS AND CONSEQUENTLY THE STUDS WOULD BE PRESSURED TO BEND BACK AND FORTH WITH EVERY WHEEL REVOLUTION. THE RIGHT REAR HUB HAD ALL EIGHT STUDS SHEARED OFF OR PULLED OUT. THE LEFT WHEEL HAD ONE BROKEN STUD WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE STUD AND MISSING NUT. THE MECHANICS CHECKED THE TORQUE ON THE SEVEN REMAINING NUTS. SIX TORQUE TO AT OR NEAR 140 POUNDS. THE SEVENTH LUG NUT HAD TAKEN TEN OR TWENTY POUNDS OF TORQUE AND THEN THE STUD SHEARED OFF. A SIXTH STUD SHEARED OFF LATER AT THE REPAIR SHOP WHEN THE MECHANIC TRIED TO LOOSEN THE LUG NUT. THE FRONT WHEELS SHOWED STUDS THAT WERE NOTICEABLY BENDING AWAY FROM THEIR CORRECT POSITION SO THE MECHANICS THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE BEST NOT TO TORQUE THEM AT THE SITE. A WEEK LATER AFTER THE MOST RECENT SERVICE, THE CONSUMER BRAKED MODERATELY DOWN A STEEP GRADE, WHEN WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS VIBRATION OR NOISE, THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL FELL OFF. THE CONSUMER FOUND FOUR SHEARED OFF STUDS, WITH NUTS ON, IN THE GRASS AND ROADSIDE DITCH. THE CONSUMER DEMANDED COMPENSATION FOR THE DAMAGE THAT RESULTED FROM THE NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE HOME/PARK MOTORHOMES AND THE SALES DEALER. (ROADTREK 200) *SCC *NLM
