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 Apr 28, 2023
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.

Fire reported

While RV was parked for approximately10 hours along the beach in Newfoundland, Canada RV caught fire and burned to the ground. We were asleep, when we were awakened by a popping sound. When we opened our eyes, the RV was already filled with smoke. We did not hear the smoke alarm or carbon monoxide go off. We escaped at the nick of time. I knocked on the van of a neighboring boondocker for help. She called the fire department. But when the fire truck arrived, the RV was already engulfed in flames. We went to bed almost at 12 midnight, the fire happened at approximately 1:30-2AM. There were no indications of problems before we went to bed. May 2022, 2 repairs under warranty were done in California. 1)the Truma was not working properly; 2) the chassis alternator was not charging the AGM battery. My boyfriend suffered burns on his hands, neck and lips and eyelashes. He said he saw flames coming out from under our bed. We were stranded in Canada for 4 days. We lost everything: money, telephone, credit cards and passport.

The contact owns a 2022 Winnebago Solis constructed on a 2021 Ram Promaster 3500 Chassis. The contact stated that the air condition unit failed to operate as needed due to a defective generator. The vehicle was initially taken to a dealer where a generator sensor was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that upon taking her vehicle back to the dealer, she was informed that the generator did not meet the 12-inch specification clearance between the ground and generator; she was informed that the generator only cleared the ground by eight inches. Due to the defect, water from both the front and rear tires would enter the generator during inclement weather; she was also informed that the design defect could potentially lead to a fire. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and denied responsibility for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. The consumer stated the generator was replaced and the mechanics were the ones who made the consumer aware of the clearance problems.
