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.
0
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.
0
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.

Filed Aug 6, 2018

WE WERE TRAVELING ON I-465 OR I-90 OUTSIDE OF INDIANAPOLIS WITH OUR 2016 LANCE CAMPER MODEL 995 ON OUR 2015 SILVERADO 3500HD. WE STOPPED AT A REST AREA ON I-90 AND FOUND THE AWNING AND AWNING ROLLER FOR THE SLIDEOUT ON THE CAMPER HAD DISAPPEARED. I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT OR UNDER THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE MOUNTS, BOTH DAMAGED, WERE ALL THAT WERE LEFT. THE CAMPER SIDE WAS ALSO SLIGHTLY CRACKED ON ONE CORNER AND BULGED ON THE OTHER. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. LANCE HAS REPLIED TO MY COMPLAINT STATING IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM ANY MORE SO CLAIMED THEY HAD NO LIABILITY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED AND I COULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE. THE AWNING IS MADE BY CAREFREE OF COLORADO FOR LANCE. I WANTED TO HAVE THIS RECORDED BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD OF ANECDOTAL INFORMATION OF OTHER SLIDE AWNINGS UNFURLING AND/OR COMING OFF SOME CAMPERS.

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.
