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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

JUNE 2, 2012 WHILE HEADING OUT OF TOWN FOR VACATION MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING DOWN US 40 HEADING EAST. A PASSING MOTORCYCLIST MOTIONED AND PULLED BESIDE US AND TOLD US THAT ARE TIRE WAS ON FIRE.WE IMMEDIATELY TURNED INTO AN COMMUNITY GARDEN PARKING LOT. EXITED OUR VEHICLE AND NOTED THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE WAS NOT ON FIRE, BUT WAS PUFFING MODERATE AMOUNT OF SMOKE FROM DRUM. WE CONTACTED OUR DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD US CONTACT COACHNET (ROADSIDE SERVICE). EVENTUALLY, COACHNET SENT OUT A FLAT BED AND TOOK OUR CAMPER TO THE TOW YARD. DUE TO IT BEING A WEEKEND NO APPROVED RV REPAIR DEALER WAS OPEN OR AVAILABLE.THAT NEXT MONDAY MORNING WE SPENT 3 OR MORE HOURS OF THE DAY ON PHONE ATTEMPTING TO HAVE CAMPER SENT TO REPAIR FACILITY. APPARENTLY, THERE WAS NO FOREST RIVER DEALER ABLE TO EVEN LOOK AT OUR CAMPER UNTIL WEDNESDAY AT EARLIEST. WE HAD TO DEMAND THAT THEY TAKE IT TO WARNER SPRING IN INDIANAPOLIS. THE TOW FACILITY DROPS CAMPER AT WARNER SPRING'S FACILITY. WHILE PULLING CAMPER INTO GARAGE WE NOTED THE MECHANICS COMMENTING THAT OUR CAMPER LOOKED JUST LIKE A CAMPER THEY HAD IN RECENTLY. THIS CAMPER TOO HAD MULTIPLE WHEEL BEARING FAILURES. WHEN REPAIRING OUR CAMPER THE MECHANICS INFORMED US THAT THE TRAILER HAD WHEEL BEARINGS AND BRAKES THEY WOULD COMMONLY SEE IN A 3500 LB. AXLE. OURS ARE RATED FOR 4400 LBS. THEY RECOMMENDED WE CHANGE OUT AXLES. WE HAD NEW WHEEL BEARINGS, BRAKE SHOES, AND HAD THE DRUM TURNED. WE CONTACTED PRIMETIME, WHICH PLACED US ON THREE-WAY CALL WITH LIPPERT, LIPPERT CLAIMED THAT THEY HAD TAKEN A 3500 LB. AXLE AND REPLACED THE AXLE TUBE WITH A 4400 LB. TUBE. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH PRIMETIME WHOM CLAIMS IS A LIPPERT PROBLEM, LIPPERT NO RESPONSE. HAVE EMAILS, PICTURES, AND PARTS. SIDE NOTE: BRAKES ON LEFT SIDE STOPPED WORKING THIS PAST WEEKEND. OTHER CAMPER FAMILY AND US HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT, MAY REFER TO ODI#10482509. *TR UPDATED 11/08/12*LJ UPDATED 11/16/2012 *JS

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.
