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.

Filed Oct 3, 2011

DEFECT: DOMETIC 2 DOOR REFRIGERATOR CRACK IN THE COOLING COIL AT THE BURNER AREA RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE FIRE. THERE IS A RECALL #08E-032. THE RECALL IS TOO LIMITED IN SCOPE AS IT DOES NOT ADDRESS UNITS THAT HAVE FAILED. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AFTER MY REFRIGERATOR COIL HAD CRACKED AND LEAKED ON THE BURNER UNIT. I NOTICED IT BEFORE THERE WAS A FIRE AND TURNED THE UNIT OFF. I CONTACTED DOMETIC AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD INSTALL THE "FIX KIT" FOR FREE AFTER I PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO PURCHASE PARTS FROM DOMETIC AND HAVE MY REFRIGERATOR REPAIRED. I AM THANKFUL THE LEAK HAPPENED WHEN I HAPPENED TO BE RIGHT THERE TO TURN IT OFF. IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT NIGHT IT MAY HAVE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS SLEEPING AND I MIGHT NOT BE HERE TO WRITE THIS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS MOTORHOME BUT HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFORMATION. I FEEL DOMETIC SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MAKING AN UNSAFE/DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WHERE CONSUMERS COULD SUFFER A LOSS OF PROPERTY, INJURY OR DEATH. *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.
