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.

Electrical
Filed Jun 3, 2023

The vehicle was modified by Midwest Automotive Designs into a Passage 148 model class B RV with a Firefly Integrations LLC multiplex electronic control module. A Colorado Carefree Awning was included as OEM on this vehicle. On June 2nd while parked in my driveway and not in use, the awning extended automatically (spontaneously). I went to the vehicle and retracted it using the control panel and once retracted it immediately re-extended. This occurred over and over again. I finally removed the fuse to stop this from occurring. This is the same issue and same equipment identified in recall 22E-070 as applying to Coachmen RVs of this era.
