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.

Brakes
Filed Apr 13, 2009

I PURCHASED A SUNNYBROOK SUNSET CREEK #268 34 MONTHS AGO. SEVERAL DAYS AGO, I NOTICED SOME ELECTRIC BRAKE WIRES DANGLING UNDER THE TRAILER. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE PLATE THAT HOLDS THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY IN PLACE HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE AXLE. ALL BOLTS WERE EITHER BROKEN OR GONE. I FOUND 4 NUTS IN THE CASING. THE BRAKE PLATE WAS BADLY DAMAGED FROM ROTATING ON THE AXLE SPINDLE. THEN I NOTICED THE BRAKE PLATE ON THE AXLE IN FRONT OF THE BAD AXLE PLATE WAS LOOSE. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I REALIZED THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BECAUSE SOMEONE DID NOT TIGHTEN ALL THE BOLTS TO SPECS. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. #1 METAL TO METAL FRICTION CAN START A FIRE WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. #2 BRAKES WILL NOT WORK UNDER THIS CIRCUMSTANCE. LUCKILY, I CAUGHT THIS BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENED. EVEN THOUGH THIS UNIT HAS A 2 YEAR WARRANTY, SUNNYBROOK OR THE COMPANY SUPPLYING THE AXLE OR FRAMEWORK SHOULD REPAIR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE ENTERED AS A RECALL, BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM. I WILL CHECK WITH MY DEALER TOMORROW AND SEE IF I CAN GET RESULTS. REMEMBER, THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE!!! *TR
