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 Nov 21, 2017
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: KZRV, L.P. (KZRV) is recalling various 2002-2018 recreational trailers equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. See a list of the affected trailer models at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V749-9547.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
The risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
The remedy: KZRV will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) KZ-RV; 2006 MONTEGO BAY, VID; [XXX] ON FEB 7TH OF THIS YEAR WE WERE RETURNING HOME FROM AN ANNUAL EVENT. DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT (CA95 NORTH BOUND TO I-40), WE EXPERIENCED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AXLE FAILURE, WHEN 2 U-BOLTS THAT WERE HOLDING THE AXLE TO THE LEAF SPRINGS ON THE REAR AXLE (OF A TANDEM) FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A REASONABLY SAFE PLACE AFTER HAVING COMPLETED A SERIES OF DOWN HILL ?S? TURNS. WE WERE ABLE TO AFFECT REPAIRS VIA CONTACTING GOOD SAM ERS, WHICH WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A MOBILE MECHANIC/REPAIR SERVICE. WHILE WE WERE WAITING FOR THEM TO ARRIVE, I WALKED BACK THROUGH OUR PREVIOUS PATH OF TRAVEL TO LOCATE THE FAILED U-BOLTS. I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE ONE OF THEM, AND FROM MY INSPECTION LOOKS TO BE THE FINAL ONE THAT WAS HOLDING THE AXLE TOGETHER BECAUSE IT HAD SHEARED CLEAN THROUGH. I BELIEVE THAT THE OTHER U-BOLT HAD DEPARTED ITS LOCATION SOMETIME IN THE PAST, MOST PROBABLY BECAUSE OF A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING/ASSEMBLY PRACTICE. ON THE FORWARD AXLE (UNTOUCHED FROM FACTORY DELIVERY), OF THE TANDEM, I FOUND THAT; ?NO WASHERS WERE USED ON THE U-BOLTS ?EQUAL LEG/THREAD LENGTH ON SIX OF THE POTENTIAL 8 LEGS ?ONE U-BOLT WAS SERIOUSLY FLAWED IN ITS ASSEMBLY OONE LEG WAS CROSS THREADED/STRIPPED AND HAD ONLY WHAT APPEARED TO BE ONE NUT WIDTH IN THREAD CONTACT. OTHE FORCE APPLIED TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THIS U-BOLT, CAUSING A SEVERE DISTORTION IN THE ARC OF THE CLAMPING DEVICE, THERE BY STRESSING IT TO AN EXTREME LEVEL. I DOCUMENTED WITH PICTURES EVERY STEP, ALONG WITH THE FAILED U-BOLT THAT SHEARED. *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.
