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.

This is a motorhome equipped with a permanently mounted motorized shade awning for use while stationary. While driving the motorhome eastbound on [XXX] , the motorized awning activated while in motion, fully extending on the passenger side of the vehicle into the lane to the right, nearly hitting the truck I was passing. An accident with the truck was nearly avoided, and I was able to make an emergency stop on the shoulder of the interstate. The awning controls are interlocked to the ignition, and it is supposed to be impossible to extend while the ignition of the motorhome is in the on position. Upon inspection after the incident it was found that the motion control of the awning (that is supposed to automatically retract the awning when it gets too windy) had failed, and was actually causing the awning to extend when the motion control was activated, even when in motion. The awning is manufactured by Girard (Lippert) - Model number GG750, Serial Number 2017006432 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.
