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.

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.

SEAT BELTS

Oct 5, 2010
2,496 units potentially affected
The defect: WINNEBAGO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 THROUGH 2011 WINNEBAGO VIEW AND ITASCA NAVION MOTOR HOMES BECAUSE THE DINETTE AREA SEAT BELT RESTRAINTS ON THOSE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES." IN A COLLISION, THE GENERATED CRASH FORCES CAN CAUSE THE RESTRAINT'S ATTACHMENT TO TEAR AND ALLOW THE ANCHOR TO SEPARATE FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE.
The risk: IF THE RESTRAINT SEPARATES FROM THE VEHICLE DURING A CRASH, THE BELT WILL NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE SEAT OCCUPANT, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OCCUPANT.
The remedy: WINNEBAGO WILL ADD ADDITIONAL SEAT BELT ANCHORAGES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 12, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT WINNEBAGO AT 1-800-537-1885.

THE TURBO RESONATORS ON 2002-2007, 2.7 MERCEDES BENZ DIESEL ENGINES ARE DEFECTIVE! I AM ON MY THIRD ONE, AND I ONLY HAVE 15,000 MILES ON MY ENGINE, WHICH IS IN A 2007 ITASCA NAVION MOTOR HOME. WHEN THEY GO OUT ON THE INTERSTATE, YOU ARE PUT IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE YOU CANNOT GO OVER 45 MPH, AND YOU'RE LIFE IS PUT IN DANGER. I HAVE EMAILED MERCEDES BENZ/DODGE/WINNEBAGO AND THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT THEY DO!! I HAVE GONE ONLINE SEARCHING OUT THIS DEFECT AND COULD NOT BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION, DUE TO THEIR TURBO RESONATOR GOING BAD. IT SEEMS THAT THIS WARRANTS A RECALL, TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND WE NEED YOUR INTERVENTION.. THERE IS A COMPANY THAT MAKES A REPLACEMENT TURBO RESONATOR AND GUARANTEES IT FOR THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE, BUT MERCEDES BENZ NOR DODGE WILL PUT IT ON, INSTEAD THEY KEEP REPLACING IT WITH ONE THAT WILL NOT WITHSTAND THE VIBRATION AND HEAT OF THE TURBO.SO, IN ABOUT 4000 MILES, WHEN IT GOES OUT AGAIN, I PRAY I CAN GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY, THEN HOPE THERE'S A DODGE DEALER CLOSE BY TO REPAIR IT QUICKLY. PLEASE HELP US BEFORE WE MIGHT BECOME A HIGHWAY STATISTIC. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN MY 2007 ITASCA NAVION, THE TURBO RESONATOR FAILED. THAT CAUSED THE SPEED TO DROP QUICKLY TO 40 MPH. I NEARLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT WITH A TRUCK THAT WAS BEHIND ME. THE PART IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND IS IN A HOT ENVIRONMENT. THE SEAMS SEPARATE AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP HOME MODE. THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED WIDELY IN SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS. THE PART WAS REPLACED BY A DODGE SPRINTER DEALER AND THE PARTS MAN SAID THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY OF THEM. *TR
