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.

Latest Aug 4, 2022
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 May 16, 2022

On Friday, May 13th 2022 my wife and I were returning from a camping trip in our 2022 Canyon Star motorhome. We were getting close to home, we heard what sounded like a loud bang and the passenger side window had suddenly shattered. It appeared that the epicenter of the shatter was a circular spot behind the outside mirror about 2" from the bottom of the glass. We were not in any traffic and there were no cars near us. We did not see any debris that got kicked up at all. It appears to have just shattered for no reason. We suspect that there was an UNSEEN defect in the glass. The only good news is that the inner piece of safety glass that was right next to my wife did not break. We were trying to get to the dealership with it still intact as I hoped that there was a laminate to keep it together. I had reduced speed and moved over one lane to the far right lane to be as safe as possible. Unfortunately, the glass shards loosened and fell to the roadway. We were able to finally reach the dealership safely. What remained of the window was inspected by the service personnel at the dealership. Pictures were taken and were to be sent to Newmar. Because it was a shattered window, there is nothing really available for additional inspection. Pictures have been attached. Had the inner safety glass shattered as well, my wife could have been seriously injured as the window was just to the right of her head.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

TSB 600

EQUIPMENT; LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

22V 584

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

Due to notification from Manchester Tank, the manufacturer of the LP tank, and a bulletin from RegO, the manufacturer of the LP tank service valve, Newmar has issued recall NHTSA #22V 584 and TC# 2022-550.

22V 234

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Newmar Corporation has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in specific motorhomes built on Freightliner and Ford Chassis. On certain Newmar Class A motorhomes, the wiring under the seats may be incorrectly secured, which may lead to a pinched wire in the seat/slide adjustment mechanism.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
