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 Aug 14, 2008
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.

WHILE TOWING THE CAMPER, WE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE CATASTROPHIC TIRE BLOWOUTS (INCLUDING 2 ON THE SAME DAY, TIRES WERE ALL NEW) DUE TO THE AXLES BEING OUT OF ALIGNMENT. TIRE BLOWOUTS CAUSED DAMAGE TO OUR CAMPER AND HIT VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND US ON THE ROAD. UPON ARRIVING AT OUR DESTINATION, WE HAD THE CAMPER INSPECTED AND FOUND THAT THE FRAME HAD FAILED. THE FRAME UNDER THE CAMPER WAS BENT AND WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE BODY OF THE CAMPER IN MULTIPLE PLACES. AS A RESULT, THE FRONT OF THE CAMPER SUSTAINED TWO LARGE HOLES WHERE THE FIBERGLASS STRUCTURE PULLED AWAY FROM THE FRAME. ON THE INTERIOR, CABINETS AND OTHER STRUCTURES PULLED AWAY FROM THE WALLS AND THE FLOOR SAGGED. BOTH AXLES WERE PUSHED OUT OF ALIGNMENT, CAUSING THE TIRES TO BLOW OUT. THE CAMPER WAS IN EXTREME DANGER OF THE ACTUAL BODY COMING OFF OF THE FRAME WHILE ON THE ROAD. IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE MANUFACTURER (JAYCO) CLAIMS THAT THE AXEL/FRAME MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND REFUSES TO INSPECT OR COVER THE DAMAGES. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
