The contact owns a 2021 Holiday Rambler Invicta RV built on a 2020 Ford F-59 Chassis. The contact stated that the rearview camera image failed to display properly. There were no warning lights illuminated. The RV was towed to an unknown local dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The RV was then taken back to the dealer for routine maintenance, and the contact was made aware that the VIN was included in a Service Brake recall and three other unknown recalls. The RV was not repaired. The RV was then towed to an independent mechanic, where it remained awaiting the parts for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.

The front grills on these models are made out of ABS plastic and are inherently weak. They are not durable enough for their designed use. They break at the mounting points and crack down the middle. I know of at least 5 other people that have had the same thing happen to them. REV Group makes another model that is nearly identical called the Fleetwood Fortis where the grill is different and doesn't have this issue. Holiday Rambler will not warranty these grills even though they know they have a problem. The grills only last a year or two and then have to be replaced at a cost of nearly $1,000.

Engine

Service Engine Light activated. Spark plug wires burnt and 4 replaced in TX on 5/24/21. Same problem again on 6/14/21. This appears to be a problem with new Ford V8 engine F-53 chassis. We are on cross US trip and trying to get fixed again. Symptom of problem, hesitation in power while driving and concern about burning wires. Also, since happened twice, what are chances happens again? How often are we supposed to keep replacing spark plug wires?

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.
