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.

Our 2022 Thor Omni BT36 motor home has a Latitude awning made by Carefree of Colorado. On our 3rd trip in the RV, as we started to extend the electric awning, it suddenly flew out from the RV, one of the gas struts on the side of the support arms flew off, and the support arm on the motor side ended up hanging loose. The awning roller bar was hanging down on the motor side, which had disconnected from the support arm on one side. I spoke with a technician at Carefree of Colorado, who told me there should have been an e-clip installed on the awning roller spindle between the support arm and the gearbox/motor assembly. The e-clip holds the awning roller bar in place, so it stays inserted in the motor assembly. The motor assembly is the only thing preventing the awning from unexpectedly deploying. We had an RV technician assist us with retracting the awning. He removed the plastic housing that covers the motor and discovered that no e-clip had been installed between the support arm and the gearbox/motor assembly. The vibration from driving the RV had caused the roller spindle to simply vibrate out of the motor assembly. As soon as we started to open the awning, the spindle came out of the motor completely, leaving the roller spindle moving freely. The gas struts on either side of the awning caused the awning to fly out in an uncontrolled manner. There is no other safeguard that prevents uncontrolled deployment of the awning other than the small e-clip holding the roller bar in place within the motor. We were incredibly fortunate to be parked in an RV park when this incident occurred. Had we been traveling down a highway at 65 mph when the awning roller spindle came out of the motor, the awning would have deployed without warning and undoubtedly been ripped off and thrown into moving traffic. It is incomprehensible to me that the entire integrity of the awning rests on a single small e-clip that can be missed during installation.
