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.

SEATS

Jun 13, 2019
1,701 units potentially affected
The defect: Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc. (Erwin Hymer) is recalling 2013-2019 Roadtrek E-Trek, RS Adventurous, CS Adventurous, and TS Adventurous motorhomes built on Sprinter chassis and equipped with one or two second row captain's chairs, with integrated seat belts. The seat pedestal base anchor brackets to the chassis fame may not have enough strength to prevent the seat and seat belt from moving in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages" and 207, "Seating Systems."
The risk: In the event of a crash, the second-row captain seats may not provide adequate protection for occupants, increasing their risk of injury.
The remedy: Dealers will remove the seatbelt(s) in the affected units and install a label, which advises that the second-row seat is not to be occupied while the vehicle is in motion. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact Erwin Hymer customer service at 1-844-464-3735. Erwin Hymer's number for this recall is 2019-01.

Filed Aug 31, 2023

The ABS light and traction control lights appear on the dash board. After 500 miles I'm no longer able to drive the RV. I bought this rv van back in 2019, i'm the 2nd owner. It has 59,500 miles. I've already replaced both the rear wheel speed sensors in 2020. Replaced both front wheel speed sensors in May 2021 and now the front right wheel speed sensor went out again 8/18/2023. The rear wheel speed sensors finally got a recall but still nothing on the front. This is ridiculous that someone can be stranded 3 times. I feel unsafe to drive my rv knowing I can be stranded because of a faulty Mercedes part that I have to keep paying for over and over again to have fixed.

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.
