Last summer (2023) the ABS light would come on when starting the vehicle and stay on until the vehicle warmed up and it would go off. By the fall it just stayed on. Stored my RV for the winter and took it to service dept. this April 2024. They conducted a computer scan and the ABS pump is defective. Similar to the first complaint I read about ABS systems on this site. Vehicle is a 2017 Chev. chassis converted to a Coachman Leprechaun RV in 2018. I am the original owner and vehicle has 30,000 miles on it.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
