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.

THIS UNIT WAS MADE WITH AXLES THAT WERE TOO SMALL FOR THE UNITS SIZE. THE AXLES WERE RATED AT 5200# EACH AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 6000# S. WE HAVE A GVWR OF 13500#. OUR UNIT WEIGHTED 13320#S PRPOERLY LOADED, BUT THE AXLE WEIGHT WAS 10480#S WHICH IS 80# OVER AWR. THE COMPANY ( MONACO COACH) MADE US PAY $ 495.39 TO INSTALL 6,000# AXLES IN THIS UNIT TO MAKE IT SAFE. I BELIEVE ALL MODELS SHOULD HAVE THE SAME UP DATE WITH NO COST TO THE OWNERS,AND WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR OUR EXPENCES. WE HAVE ALL OF THE WEIGHT SHEETS AND LETTERS AND ETC. WE CAN SEND TO YOU. I WOULD AISO BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO APPEAR BEFORE A HEARING ON THIS MATTER.

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.
