Has your RV been involved in a recall in the last year?

You’d be here for a very, very long time if we listed all the recalls on RVs this past year. We here at RVtravel.com post many of the big ones, and that’s just a tiny fraction of those that get posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website.

Within the last year, has your RV been involved in a recall? If so, was it for just one thing or multiple things or multiple times? After you vote in the poll, please leave a comment and tell us about that recall and what it meant for you.

Also, be sure you read Attorney Ron Burge’s story, “Is your RV a death trap? For some RVers, the answer could be ‘yes’.” It’s a fascinating, though scary, look at RV recalls. The information is good to know and keep in mind.

  1. No recalls that I have ever noticed (and I have looked). But the sad answer is my RV should have had several recalls.
    My travel trailer is a 2022 Gulf Stream model. I made multiple repairs. ‘Something’ made me have the bearings & brakes inspected after just 6,000 miles. The brakes needed adjustment, not a huge deal, but according to the mechanic, the bearings from the factory were barely greased and the rear seals were in poor shape. It’s decidedly a safety issue if a bearing ceases, and no owner should have to worry about the factory applied grease for a lot more than 6,000 miles.

  2. Our 2022 Newmar New Aire on a Spartan chasdis had two in the last 6, or so weeks. Spartan did a software update, which we had done at the closest Spartan-certified RV dealer with the capability. Newmar replaced a water line to the commode during our visit there for last warranty items two weeks ago. The line was replaced before the recall letter arrived at our sticks-and-bricks.

  3. Not in the past year, but two recalls on my 2018 Toy hauler. One for the Solera Smart arm awning and one for the propane regulator.
