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.

Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words

Body & structure
Filed Aug 9, 2025

Hinge failure on bay door. It is a common problem and has failed 3 times so far. The "C" clamp on the hing fails which causes the bolt to fall out and door to fall off. Newmar employees have stated that this is a poor design. Door falls off and the motorhome cannot be driven until fixed. It opens while driving going down the road, which could cause a serious accident. We are paying for yet another mobile rv repair to come out today and fix if possible.

Driver assistance
Filed Mar 12, 2025

This system has no driver controls. While we ideally would like to maintain a huge space between the vehicle in front of us, in real world driving heavy traffic precludes us from being able to do so. When traffic is heavy and cars and trucks are pulling in around and in front of you this system starts beeping loudly and at a increasing rate. You are in a stressful situation with vehicles all around you which is made worse by a never ending loud beeping that becomes a major distraction. The system also changes your display but does not return it to your original setting which is another distraction as you reprogram your display while driving.

22V 583

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

Due to ITR releasing a technical bulletin MTB-229-20, Newmar has released a recall bulletin NHTSA # 22V 583 and TC# 2022-436. On certain Newmar motorhomes equipped with International Thermal Research powered heaters, ITR may have installed an incorrect fuel line on the heater, which may leak fuel.

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.

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.
