Complaint excerpts
The 1 most recent complaint with a narrative. Names, emails, phone numbers, VINs and addresses are removed. Reports are unverified. NHTSA record set for this vehicle (JSON).
THIS IS A CLASS A MOTORHOME ON A FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS. WHEN RUNNING AT NIGHT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE ENTIRE DASH LIGHTS FLICKER AND GO OUT COMPLETELY LEAVING A DARK DASH WITH NO INSTRUMENTATION INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER. AFTER TALKING WITH NEWMAR CORP. THEY SAY IT IS A KNOWN SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND IS FREIGHTLINER'S RESPONSIBILITY. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AND IT IS GOING ON A YEAR. WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT THE COACH IS COMPLETELY DARK AND YOU CANNOT TELL SPEED ON ANYTHING ELSE. THIS CAUSES A MAJOR PROBLEM AT NIGHT.
Chassis
No chassis mapping is recorded for this model year. Mappings come only from recall notices that name the chassis, so this is a gap in the record, not a statement about the coach.
Canadian notices
Transport Canada publishes its own notices with their own IDs. They are separate records from the U.S. campaigns above and are never merged with them.
No Transport Canada notice in this dataset lists this model year.
