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.

4/25/2014, RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM SKYLINE, ALONG WITH A SIMILAR LETTER FROM FASTEC INDUSTRIAL IN THE SAME ENVELOPE CONCERNING NHTSA #13V-652, INFORMING ME OF A POSSIBLE DEFECT OF THE DEADBOLT LOCK INSTALLED IN MY CAMPER FROM WESCO FASTEC INDUSTRIAL WITH INSTRUCTIONS OF WHAT TO CHECK FOR. I CHECKED AND MY LOCK, #HF-320, WAS LISTED IN THE RECALL. I IMMEDIATELY THAT SAME DAY SUBMITTED A CLAIM WITH THE COMPANY PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS AN EMAIL CONFIRMATION LETTING ME KNOW THEY HAD RECEIVED MY CLAIM AND TO EXPECT MY ORDER TO SHIP IN APPROXIMATELY 3-4 WEEKS. 6/10/2014, I DID NOT RECEIVE MY LOCK YET SO I EMAILED FASTEC, LETTING THEM KNOW I ORIGINALLY EMAILED ON 4/25/2014 BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY REPLACEMENT LOCK AND ASKED FOR A STATUS. I DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM THEM. MY WIFE HAD THEN EMAILED FASTEC SOMEWHERE AROUND JULY 1ST ASKING FOR A STATUS. 7/3/2014, FASTEC REPLIED,"I AM SORRY FOR YOUR INCONVENIENCE. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON MARCH THE 1ST ORDERS FOR THE RECALL. DUE TO THE VOLUME OF ORDERS WE HAVE FALLEN BEHIND ON GETTING ORDERS OUT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH US DURING THIS TIME." 9/14/2014, AS OF THIS DATE I HAVE STILL NOT HEARD BACK FROM FASCO OR RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT DEADBOLT LOCK. I AM NORMALLY NOT ONE TO COMPLAIN BUT I FEEL I HAVE WAITED MORE THAN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR A REPLACEMENT LOCK. *TR

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

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.
