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.

Latest Mar 5, 2007
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.

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.

Filed Jan 13, 2009

THE DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR IN OUR SKYLINE TRAVEL TRAILER STOPPED FREEZING THE ITEMS IN IT. THEN THE REFRIGERATOR WAS ONLY JUST KEEPING THINGS FROM SPOOLING. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND THEN WE GOT A RECALL LETTER FROM SKYLINE STATING THAT TWO OF THE FOUR THINGS LISTED THAT COULD HAPPEN TO IT WERE THE TWO THAT WAS HAPPENING. IT IS NOT COOLING AND THE FREEZER PORTION SMELLS VERY STRONGLY OF AMMONIA. I HAVE FOUND OUT FROM DOMETIC THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE PART THAT IS UNDER RECALL. APPARENTLY, OUR UNIT NEEDS FURTHER PARTS NOW DUE TO THE RECALLED ITEM. SO NOW WE HAVE A REFRIGERATOR THAT DOES NOT WORK AND CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. *TR

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.
