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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Jun 20, 2000
117 units potentially affected
The defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS C MOTOR HOMES CONSTRUCTED ON CHEVY CHASSIS. THE ROUTING OF THE MAIN BATTERY FEED WIRING FROM THE COACH BATTERY TO THE DISTRIBUTION PANEL OF THE MOTOR HOME. THE COACH BATTERY IS NOT THE ENGINE BATTERY. THE COACH BATTERY PROVIDES SERVICE TO THE MOTOR HOME'S 12V APPLIANCES. THE ROUTING ALLOWS IT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OF THE VEHICLE, AND OVER TIME, THE HEAT OF THE MANIFOLD DEGRADES THE SHIELDING OF THE WIRE EXPOSING THE WIRE TO THE METAL MANIFOLD.
The risk: THIS CONDITION COULD CREATE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, AND IF THE SHORT DOES NOT CAUSE THE FUSE TO BLOW, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL RE-ROUTE THE WIRING AND AN ADDITIONAL CLAMP WILL BE ADDED TO PERMANENTLY SECURE THE WIRING IN THIS NEW POSITION SAFELY AWAY FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD.
