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 20, 2025
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.

Filed May 18, 2026

[XXX] U.S. Army), Active-Duty Service Member (Stationed at Fort Knox, KY / Residing in Brandenburg, KY) I am reporting a severe structural manufacturing defect involving the room slide-out assembly on the driver-side flank of the vehicle body. Certified diagnostic testing and structural tolerance layouts executed by the component manufacturer, Lippert (LCI Case #[XXX]), and servicing dealership technicians (Camping World) have confirmed that the main slide-out housing and framing elements were installed, aligned, and integrated completely out of structural tolerance directly at the Thor Motor Coach assembly plant during production. This structural defect constitutes an uncorrectable manufacturing deviation. Because the slide-out mechanism is fundamentally misaligned within the main load-bearing sidewall of the motorhome, it repeatedly binds, undergoes severe component stress, and fails to close or seat flush against the secondary seals. Operating a 11,000lb+ commercial-chassis motorhome with a structurally out-of-tolerance slide-out housing introduces substantial safety hazards to public highways: Catastrophic Unintended Deployment: The mechanical stress and structural warping prevent the locking mechanisms and gear teeth from seating safely. Vibration at highway speeds risks structural latch failure, which could result in a partial or full unintended slide-out deployment while traveling at high speeds. Because the slide-out frame cannot close symmetrically, the structural integrity of the main driver-side wall is severely degraded. This creates asymmetrical aerodynamic drag and hazardous crosswind vulnerability, risking dynamic instability and potential vehicle roll-overs or lane-drift. In the event of an evasive driving maneuver, the shifting, misaligned mass of the slide-out can cause unpredictable chassis twisting and severe stability control failures, endangering my passengers and sharing motorists.

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.
