Defect. Roadtrek is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 Roadtrek 21PC Popular and 21VC Versatile model class "B" motorhomes built from October 1, 2010, through November 12, 2011. On some motorhomes, the rivets may fail that secure the awning brackets to the motorhome side wall, allowing the bracket and Thule awning to come off the motor home while operating the awning.

Risk. If the awning separates from the motor home, the user or people nearby may be injured.

Remedy. Roadtrek will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional stainless steel rivet on each of the awning brackets, free of charge. The safety recall began on August 21, 2012. Owners may contact Roadtrek Service Department at 1-888-ROADTREK (762-3873) or 1-519-745-1169.

IN SEPT. 2015 AT AN ODOMETER READING OF 25,000 MILES THE LEFT REAR FACTORY SUPPLIED ALUMINUM WHEEL(CHINESE MANUFACTURED) CRACKED AT THE BASE OF A SPOKE CAUSING A PRECIPITOUS LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE. IN SEPT. 2016 AT 32,000 MILES A SECOND FACTORY SUPPLIED ALUMINUM WHEEL CRACKED AT THE BASE OF A SPOKE, ONCE AGAIN CAUSING A PRECIPITOUS LOSS OF TIRE AIR PRESSURE. IN BOTH CASES THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT A HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60 MPH. THE FAILURES NECESSITATED REPLACEMENT OF THE WHEELS. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE FAILURES ARE REFLECTIVE OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH MAY HAVE AFFECTED OTHER USERS BUT HAS GONE UNREPORTED. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE OR THE MANUFACTURER OF THE WHEEL ACKNOWLEDGED EVIDENCE THAT THE BREAKAGE HAS BEEN A REOCCURRING PROBLEM. OWNER HAS BEEN FORCED TO REPLACE ALL FACTORY SUPPLIED ALUMINUM WHEELS AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. PHOTOGRAPHIC AND DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE OF THE INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN RETAINED.

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.
