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.
0
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.

Filed Nov 1, 2015

IN SEPT 2014 I HAD A BLOWOUT ON I75 ON MY JAYCO FIFTH WHEEL. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE RV. AFTER THE RV WAS REPAIRED IT WAS IN STORAGE UNTIL JUNE 28,2015, WHEN I HAD ANOTHER BLOW OUT, AND THEN 2 MORE ON JULY 1ST. EVERY TIRE WAS DESTROYED BECAUSE THE TREAD RIPPED OFF THE TIRE. I ALSO HAD DAMAGE TO THE 5TH WHEEL FROM EACH OF THESE BLOW OUTS. I FILED A CLAIM WITH GOODYEAR AS IT WAS OBVIOUS THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. GOODYEAR REJECTED THE CLAIM SAYING THE TIRES MUST HAVE BEEN LOW ON AIR. I ALWAYS CHECK MY TIRES WHEN I AM LEAVING ON A TRIP AND I DO NOT OVERLOAD THE RV.
