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.

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.

I BOUGHT MY RV, 2006 KZ MONTEGO BAY 36FT. FIFTHWHEEL FROM CCRV IN CORPUS CHRISTI,TX 2 YEARS AGO. IT WAS A NEW MODEL. THE TIRES ON THE RV WERE FREESTAR BRAND, ST235 80R16, LOAD RANGE 'G' AND THE DOT IS TCI 4705 ON 3 TIRES AND TCI 4805 ON THE OTHER 2 TIRES. ON AUG. 2, 2008 WHILE DRIVING TO AN RV PARK, ONE OF THE TIRES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEW OUT. ON AUG. 4, 2008 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE RV PARK, ANOTHER TIRE, ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, BLEW OUT. BOTH BLOWOUTS RESULTED IN EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY RV AND I WAS LUCKY THAT WE DID NOT HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED THE TIRE DEALER, TIRECO INC., 500 W. 190TH ST., GARDENA, CA 90248, TEL. (310) 604-8760 AND REPORTED THE TIRE FAILURE. THE TIRES AT THIS TIME HAD LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON THEM. I HAD MY RV REPAIRED AND I SENT THE DAMAGED TIRES TO TIRECO INC. SO THAT THEY COULD INSPECT THEM AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THE NEW SET OF TIRES I BOUGHT TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SET OF TIRES THAT WERE DAMAGED. I SENT THE DAMAGED TIRES TO THEM ON AUGUST21, 2008 AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE TIRES I BOUGHT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW FROM YOU THE LOAD RATING OF THIS TIRE. MY RV'S WEIGHT IS 15,700 LBS AND HAS TWO (2) AXLES. I EXAMINED TWO OF THE REMAINING TIRES FROM THE ORIGINAL SET OF FOUR AND FOUND THAT THE RUBBER PLYS INSIDE OF THE TIRE WERE "SEPARATED" SO THEY WERE READY TO "BLOWOUT" ALSO. I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS PARTICULAR TIRE WERE THE CORRECT TIRES FOR MY RV OR WHETHER THE TIRES WERE OVERLOADED TO BEGIN WITH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION PLEASE REPLY. *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.
