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 27, 2018
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.

The defect: Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf.

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS CLASS C RV I HAVE NOTICED CRACKS FORMING ON THREE OCCASIONS ON THE OUTSIDE FIBERGLASS OF THE OVER CAB AREA. THE CRACKS FORMED ON TOP CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE CAB ON BOTH SIDES AROUND HALFWAY FROM THE ROOF LINE AND THE CURVED AREA. INSTEAD OF SOME RANDOM FIBERGLASS CRACKS THIS CRACKS APPEAR TO ME MORE OF A STRESS RELATED PROBLEM OR SOME TYPE OF STRUCTURAL DEFECT IN DESIGN AS THEY APPEARED DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAB AND RE-APPEAR AFTER REPAIRS. THE FIRST CRACKS WERE NOTED IN FEB 2015 ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE SECOND SET WERE NOTED IN MAR 2015 ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE LATEST CRACKS WERE NOTED IN DEC 2015 AND ARE LOCATED NEAR THE SAME AREA AS THE ONES NOTICED IN FEB 2015. THIS CRACKS WERE FOUND DURING VEHICLE INSPECTION PRIOR TO USE.
