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.

SEAT BELTS

Oct 5, 2010
2,496 units potentially affected
The defect: WINNEBAGO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 THROUGH 2011 WINNEBAGO VIEW AND ITASCA NAVION MOTOR HOMES BECAUSE THE DINETTE AREA SEAT BELT RESTRAINTS ON THOSE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES." IN A COLLISION, THE GENERATED CRASH FORCES CAN CAUSE THE RESTRAINT'S ATTACHMENT TO TEAR AND ALLOW THE ANCHOR TO SEPARATE FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE.
The risk: IF THE RESTRAINT SEPARATES FROM THE VEHICLE DURING A CRASH, THE BELT WILL NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE SEAT OCCUPANT, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OCCUPANT.
The remedy: WINNEBAGO WILL ADD ADDITIONAL SEAT BELT ANCHORAGES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 12, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT WINNEBAGO AT 1-800-537-1885.

I HAVE A 2007 WINNEBAGO VIEW 23B MOTORHOME, WITH THE 2006 MODEL YEAR DODGE SPRINTER 3500 CHASSIS. THERE IS A PART CALLED THE TURBO-RESONATOR THAT SERVES AS A BAFFLE FOR THE TURBO WHINE ON THIS ENGINE. WE ARE CURRENTLY ON OUR 3RD TURBO RESONATOR WITH LESS THAN 13,000 MILES DRIVEN. WHEN THE RESONATOR CRACKS, THE ENGINE GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SLOWS TO UNDER 40 MPH. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC. BOTH TIMES WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED WHILE WAITING FOR A DEALER TO HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE FOR US. THE LAST OCCURRENCE RESULTED IN A DECELERATION FROM 65MPH TO 30MPH ON A SLIGHT GRADE WHILE LEAVING HENDERSON NV. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 75MPH AND THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY. SEVERAL LARGE TRUCKS HAD TO MAKE EMERGENCY MANEUVERS AS WE TRIED TO EXIT TO THE DEBRIS STREWN SHOULDER. ALL THE WHILE, MY KIDS ARE IN THE VEHICLE WITH US. THE PART WAS REPLACED AGAIN FROM THE DEALER WITH THE SAME CHEAP PLASTIC PART THAT IS KNOWN TO FAIL. THE PARTS ACTUALLY STOCK THE PART DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF THE FAILURE. *TR

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.
