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.

STEERING:COLUMN

Jun 8, 2006
2 units potentially affected
The defect: ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH TRW MANUAL STEERING COLUMNS, THE STEERING COLUMN HAS AN INCORRECT BUSHING THAT DOES NOT PROPERLY LIMIT THE TRAVEL OF THE STEERING COLUMN.
The risk: THE REDUCED ENGAGEMENT OF THE COLUMN TUBING MAY LIMIT THE DRIVER'S CAPABILITY TO CONTROL THE STEERING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The remedy: TRW SERVICE CENTERS, FREE OF CHARGE, WILL REPLACE THE BUSHING TO ENSURE PROPER ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE STEERING COLUMN TUBES. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SPARTAN AT 1-800-543-4277, OPTION #1.

JULY 2007 WE PURCHASED A NEW REXHALL ROSEAIR RV FROM THEIR DEALER. THIS RV WAS COMING OFF THE MANUFACTURE LINE. WE WERE NOT ADVISED THAT REXHALL WAS USING SEVEN YEAR CHASSIS THAT HAD BEEN OUT IN THE CALIF. DESERT UNPROTECTED. AFTER RECEIPT OF THE RV WE FOUND OUT THAT THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS WAS CRACKED, BRITTLE AND COPPER ON COPPER. WE CAME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING A FIRE IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT BILL REX, CEO OF REXHALL PUT APPROXIMATELY 5-10 RV'S SIMILAR TO THIS OUT ON THE ROAD AS NEW. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER, ALTERNATOR, THE CHASSIS A/C, THE AIR BAG SENSOR, TIRES, AND THE POWER STEERING HOSE. WHEN THE AIR BAG SENSOR BLEW I BEGAN HAVING STEERING PROBLEMS ON HWY 101, IN WHICH CAME CLOSE TO LOSING TOTAL CONTROL. THIS RV IS AND WAS A MAJOR HIGHWAY SAFETY PROBLEM. I SPENT $178,000 FOR THIS RV AND WHEN I FILED A CALIF. LEMON LAWSUIT AGAINST REXHALL THEY CONVENIENTLY FILED A CHAPTER 11 BK. BILL REX WILL NOT TAKE THIS RV BACK AND RETURN MY MONEY, THE ONLY THING HE DID WAS REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS. THE TIRES WERE CRACKED FROM THE YEARS IN THE DESERT AND OVER ALL I HAVE SPENT $1200 FOR TWO NEW TIRES AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND VEHICLE INSURANCE HAS COVERED MORE THAN $45,000. REXHALL RV MANUFACTURING NEEDS TO BE SHUTDOWN AND SEVERELY FINED FOR PLACING THE WELFARE OF THE US PUBLIC AT RISK. UPDATED 08/15/11 *BF UPDATED 09/27/11 *BF *TR UPDATED 2/21/12 *CN
