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 Nov 26, 1999
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.

Nov 26, 1999
606 units potentially affected
The defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS B MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON DODGE 3500 OR 2500 VAN CHASSIS. THE GENERATOR FUEL PICKUP FITTING WAS SELF TAPPED INTO A DRILLED HOLE BESIDE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON TOP OF THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK. SEALANT WAS USED ON THE THREAD BEFORE THE FITTING WAS SCREWED INTO THE TANK. ON SOME VEHICLES, THE FUEL PICKUP FITTING WAS NOT SEALED PROPERLY AGAINST THE TANK WALL, AND WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, FUEL OR FUEL VAPORS CAN LEAK OUT.
The risk: IN A CRASH, FUEL OR FUEL VAPORS CAN LEAK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SELF TAPPING FUEL PICKUP WITH A NEW ONE WITH REGULAR THREAD FITTING SECURED TO THE TANK WITH A LOCK NUT INSIDE THE TANK.
