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 Mar 22, 2007
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.

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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 KEYSTONE SPRINGDALE. THE VEHICLE HAS A DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR, MODEL RM2652. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR HER DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR, BUT DID NOT CALL THE MANUFACTURER AT THAT TIME. WEEKS LATER, SHE WENT INTO HER VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT EVERYTHING IN THE REFRIGERATOR HAD BEEN RUINED; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO LEAK. SHE CALLED A FEW RV SERVICE DEPARTMENTS IN HER AREA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. THE CONTACT FOUND THE RECALL NOTICE SHE RECEIVED EARLIER AND CALLED DOMETIC. DOMETIC STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPLACE OR REPAIR THE REFRIGERATOR BECAUSE THEY WERE CURRENTLY ONLY INSTALLING THE FIRE PREVENTION KITS. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE PART NUMBER AND RECALL NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 60. UPDATED 11/17/08 *BF UPDATED 11/18/08. *JB

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.
