Defect. THE E-Z SLIDE-OUT ROOM CAN OPERATE UNEXPECTEDLY. WATER CAN CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM CONTROL RELAY.

Risk. IF THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM OPERATES UNEXPECTEDLY, THE MOTOR HOME WIDTH WILL INCREASE WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT IF TRAVELING OR PROPERTY DAMAGE COULD OCCUR WHILE THE MOTOR HOME IS PARKED.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REPLACEMENT CONTROL RELAY IN A WATERPROOF LOCATION ON THESE MOTOR HOMES.

CHEVROLET P30 'AUTO PARK'. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM IN THAT IT WOULD 'AUTO PARK' WHEN I PUT THE TRANS IN REVERSE AND I COULD NOT BACK UP. THE NEXT DAY(OR WEHN I LEFT THE RV PARK) IT WOULD WORK FINE. LIKEWISE, WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT FOR SERVICE IT WOULD WORK FINE. I GOT ON THE INTERNET ON SOME RV BOARDS AND FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS-ONE WAS LOCKED DOWN TOTALLY IN THE YARD, ANOTHER WOULD NOT HOLD, BUT THE WORSE WAS A LOCKDOWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD! I COULD HANDLE THE MINOR ONES BUT NOW I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE "GOING DOWN THE ROAD LOCKDOWN". THAT COULD BE SERIOUS! THE INCIDENT DATE IS NOT CORRECT BECAUSE I CAN'T RECALL EXACTLY THE TWO TIMES I HAD PROBLEMS BUT HAD TO FILL IN THE FIELD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.*AK

THE AUTOMATIC PARK SYSTEM ON OUR PACE ARROW (P30 CHASSIS GMTRS) FAILED TO HOLD THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED. THE ONLY WAY WE COULD KEEP IT FROM ROLLING OFF WAS TO BLOCK THE WHEELS.*AK

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.

Most recent recall on file: Nov 22, 1996. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
