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.

Filed Jun 12, 2026

The contact owns a 2021 Vanleigh Vilano RV. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds on two separate occasions, the contact observed excessive vertical movement in the pin box/fifth-wheel hitch assembly. Upon pulling to a gas station and inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the mounting screws under the fifth wheel holding the fiberglass had ripped through the fiberglass. The RV was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a fractured frame. The RV was repaired, but the failure recurred approximately 18 months later. The RV was inspected by an independent mobile technician; however, a definitive diagnosis was currently pending. The failure mileage was unknown.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
