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.
0
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.
0
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.

Suspension
Filed Jun 21, 1999

AT 20MPH ON FREEWAY EXIT WITH ROUGH SURFACE FRONT WHEELS STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE UNTIL ALMOST TOTALLY STOPPED. ON CHECKING IT IS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING BOX. THE STEERING WHEEL EXHIBITS THIS ALSO AS IT MOVES ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES BEFORE VEHICLE STARTS TO TURN. WE ALSO NOTE THAT LEFT FRONT WHEEL RUBS DRAGGING ON FULL RIGHT TURN. THE UNIT WAS JUST FRONT END ALIGNED, AND THE TIRES ROTATED. THIS IS AN OSHKOSH CHASSIS, NOW OWNED BY FREIGHTLINER. THE MOTORHOME MANUFACTURER, R & R CUSTOM COACH WORKS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AT THE END OF THE 1993 MODEL. THERE IS NOT A FREIGHLINER DEALER IN SAN JOSE, CA. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY PROBLEM IN THE FRONTEND. THIS IS A 35 FOOT CLASS A MOTORHOME. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT ABOUT 700 MILES AND NO PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. *AK

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.
