What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2008 Itasca Navion, 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.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE RE: PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING. THE RECALL # IS R49/NHTSA 15V-354. EVERY DEALER I HAVE CONTACTED STATES THAT IT WILL BE AT LEAST MARCH BEFORE THEY START RECEVIING REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. IF IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO BE REPLACED, HOW COME I'M BEING TOLD IT WILL BE AT LEAST 6 MONTHS??? WHAT IS BEING DOEN ABOUT IT IN THE MEAN TIME?
