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.

From owner reports, verbatim

We purchased a brand new 2021 Northwood Arctic Fox 29RK travel trailer on Aril 30, 2021 from Bishs RV in Kalispell, Montana. The dealership delivered it to our home on May 12, 2021. Since we have had it (we have not moved it or used it yet), we have located, so far, 6 separate propane gas leaks in the lines going from the propane tanks to the underbelly of the unit. Due to complications with Bishs RV, we do not trust them to fix anything on this unit so we are having them repaired at our expense, but feel this should be reported. I called Northwood MFG in Oregon and the tech told me told me it goes through 3 pressure tests at the factory prior to being shipped out for sale. I am not sure how this can be true with this many leaks that we have found so far.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

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.
