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.

2 CARLISLE TRAILER TIRES BLEW OUT A MONTH APPART AND ONE CAUSED DAMAGE TO OUR NEW 36' 5TH WHEEL RV. WE BELIEVE THESE 16" TIRES TO BE DEFECTIVE AND A SERIOUS HAZARD WHEN TOWING A 5TH WHEEL OR TRAILER, AS THIS IS THE SECOND RV WE HAD WITH CARLISLE TIRES THAT HAD TREAD SEPARATION FOR NO REASON. WE LOST ALL 4 TIRES ON OUR PREVIOUS 2000 25' WANDERER WAGON TRAVEL TRAILER IN THE FIRST YEAR; SO FAR WE HAVE LOST TWO ON THE 2004 36' 5TH WHEEL RV. PROPER INFLATION WAS ASSURED PRIOR TO TRAVEL AND TEMP WAS ONLY ABOUT 40 DEGREES OUTSIDE OF HAVASU, AZ. THE STEEL BELTS WRAPPED AROUND THE AXLE AND THE RUBBER TORE UP THE SIDE OF THE TRAILER, DAMAGE WAS $1,295.00. A MONTH LATER THE SECOND TIRE PEELED OFF IN THE SAME WAY BUT CAUSED NO DAMAGE, BUT MUCH INCONVENIENCE, AS IT WAS IN A BAD PLACE TO CHANGE IT, ON A MAJOR FREEWAY SHOULDER OF I-15 NEAR MESQUITE, NV. *AK
