LAST FEBRUARY, MY HEATER CORE LEAKED ON MY 33' 1999 WINNEBAGO CHIEFTAIN. BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD A LOCAL, DEPENDABLE RV DEALER FIX THE PROBLEM. IN MARCH I HEADED OUT TO FOR ANOTHER TRIP AND AFTER APPROX 300 MILES, THE HEATER CORE LEAKED AGAIN. AFTER I GOT BACK THE RV DEALER REPLACED THE HEATER CORE AT NO COST TO ME. THE NEXT TRIP I HAD AS IN JULY, WHERE I ONLY PUT 361 MILES ON THE REPAIRED HEATER CORE BEFORE IT STARTED TO LEAK AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS, PETE. *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.
