We purchased this brand new 2024 motorhome in CO, in Feb. of 2025. It had a very serious safety recall on the rear axle, issued by Ford in Sept of 2025 that no one informed us of. The dealer, the manufacturer both claimed they'd have no way of knowing. We happened upon this safety recall for another unrelated issued, turns out our axle was in the process of failing with only 2800 miles on it and the rear differential had to be rebuilt. The Colorado Dept. of Revenue, Auto Industry Division, as well as the AG will not investigate and the AG maintains they have no authority. This is not ok. Both the dealer and manufacturer claim zero responsibility for selling a brand new vehicle with a major safety recall. Where is the accountability in this process that would have very likely ended up in our potential serious injury or death because motorhomes are not subject to the same safety recalls as vehicles?
