MY 9 MONTH OLD INFANT SON WAS PLAYING ON THE BED AT THE FRONT END OF THE CAMPER WITH SUPERVISION WHEN HE SLID BACK AND ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT FROM UNDER THE CANVAS WHERE IT ATTACHES. THANKFULLY I WAS RIGHT THERE TO CATCH HIM BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD! THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, WE WERE SET UP FOR CAMPING FOR THE WEEKEND. INCIDENT OCCURRED 10/82016. I WILL BE HAPPY TO TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH AND SEND IT IN. THE FRONT CANVAS IS NOT SECURED TO THE CAMPER IN THE FRONT BOTTOM. IT CAN BE TUCKED IN, BUT ANY PRESSURE PUSHES IT RIGHT BACK OUT. THERE ONLY APPEARS TO BE GLUE IN THE CORNERS AND NOTHING IN THE FRONT TO SECURE THIS IN PLACE.

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.
