Onan Recalls, Complaints & Safety Data

NHTSA safety recalls, owner-reported complaints and investigations, by model and model year · 1990–1991

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. This total counts a complaint once for each Onan model year it names.
0
Safety recallsDistinct NHTSA recall campaigns covering at least one Onan model year. One campaign can cover several models and many model years; it is counted once here.
1
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.

TRAILER HITCHESWHEN DIESEL FUEL TANK IS FILLED, THE WEIGHT OF THE UNIT EXCEEDS THE RATED CAPACITY OF THE TIRES AND, IN SOME INSTANCES, THE RATED CAPACITY OF THE AXLE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: OVERLOADED TIRES COULD BLOWOUT CAUSING THE TRAILER TO SWERVE AND EVENTUALLY BREAK ITS HITCH; THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
