The contact stated that the living room slide-out leaked into the living room and into the kitchen. The bedroom slide-out leaked through the bedroom. There were screws detaching from the floor. A door was opening into a glass window without a door stop. The floor in the dinette area was fractured. Additionally, the air conditioner vent was leaking into the RV while blowing cold air. The air conditioner at the top of the RV was leaking on the sliding door and into the camper. The windows caulking was defective, causing air to come through the sides of the windows. The bottom drainpipes appeared separated and needed to be re-glued. The sliding doors failed to latch and lock securely. The entertainment center door with the television and fireplace attached had detached from the hinges due to missing screws, and almost injured the contact's wife. The vehicle was towed to the dealer several times; however, the dealer only installed a door stop to prevent the door from opening into a glass window. Additionally, the mobile technician inspected the RV at the residence and took pictures of the failures, but no repair was performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The manufacturer referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. Th

Reading this record

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.
