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.

Jun 19, 2000
760 units potentially affected
The defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 23' TRAVEL TRAILERS. THE DESIGN INCORPORATES ALL OF THE LIQUID STORAGE TANKS BEHIND THE AXLE, SO THAT WHEN THE TANKS ARE FULL OR OTHER MATERIALS ARE IMPROPERLY LOADED, TRAILER HITCH WEIGHT IS REDUCED.
The risk: THE VEHICLE BECOMES DIFFICULT TO TOW AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MILES PER HOUR.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL ADD ADDITIONAL WEIGHT TO THE A-FRAME OF THE TRAVEL TRAILER, REVISE THE FEDERAL AND WEIGHT LABELS, AND TOWING INSTRUCTIONS, AND HIGHER CAPACITY TIRES WILL BE ADDED TO ACCOMMODATE THE ADDED WEIGHT.
