WE WERE ON THE FORWARD BED THAT SITS OVER THE PROPANE TANK AND BATTERY. MY 15 MONTH OLD SON ROLLED OVER TO THE "DRIVER SIDE" OF THE BED AND FELL THROUGH THE SIDE ONTO A CONCRETE PAD. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY A 4 FOOT FALL. THE VELCRO THAT HOLDS THE CANVAS TO THE BED DID NOT HOLD AND ALLOWED HIM TO FALL THROUGH. THE CAMPER WAS IN A CAMPSITE ON A CONCRETE PAD AND SET UP PER SPECIFICATIONS. IT WAS STATIONARY. OLDER MODELS USED TO HAVE BUNGEE TIE DOWNS THAT HELD THE SIDES OF THE CANVAS TO THE BED. THESE DO NOT EXIST ON THIS MODEL. LUCKILY NO INJURIES WERE CAUSED, BUT HE WAS CLOSE TO HITTING THE FRAME AND EDGE OF THE STORAGE BIN. *DT CARFAX CANNOT PROCESS THIS REQUEST. VIN NOT VALID.*JB

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
