Investigations List

After a preliminary review of consumer complaints and other information related to alleged defects, NHTSA obtains information from the manufacturer(including data on complaints, crashes, injuries, warranty claims, modifications, and part sales) and determines whether further analysis is warranted.  If warranted, the investigator will conduct a more detailed and complete analysis of the character and scope of the alleged defect.

Recall Campaign:

Summary Description: Underhood fires


Summary

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 9 Vehicle Owner's Questionnaire (VOQ) reports, 1 Death and Injury report, and multiple field reports alleging incidents of engine compartment fires in model year (MY) 2021-2023 JeepeBay Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles. The majority of the reports describe a fire occurring while the ignition in the vehicle was in an 'OFF' state with a suspected origin at the passenger front side of the engine compartment. An ignition 'OFF' vehicle fire can result in an increased risk of occupant injury, injury to persons outside the vehicle, and property damage, with little to no warning. ODI has contacted the vehicle manufacturer, FiateBay ChryslereBay Automobiles (FCAeBay), and learned of several thermal events originating at the power steering pump electrical connector in recent model year JeepeBay Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles. The location of the pump connector is located at the passenger front side of the engine compartment, coinciding with the majority of fire reports known to ODI. ODI is opening this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) to assess the cause, scope, and frequency of the alleged defect. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Numbers document, go to NHTSA.gov.

Summary Description: Semi-Trailer Side Underride Guards


Summary

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received a petition dated July 3, 2024, requesting an investigation of all van-type semi-trailers due to collisions with passenger vehicles and other vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists) resulting in significant injuries or death due to the lack of side underride guards (SUG). No single trailer manufacturer or equipment supplier was identified. The petition itself can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11599188. Currently, a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) requiring side underride guards on semi-trailers does not exist. The petitioner contend that failure to includeside underride guards equates to a safety defect in the semi-trailer's design, construction and performance. ODI was petitioned in 2021 for this same topic and, after evaluation, denied the request (DP21004). In support of their request, the petitioner states that evidence of SUG effectiveness to prevent fatalities and mitigate serious injuries has continued to accumulate since the denial of DP21004. Furthermore the petitioner alleges that despite a high severity of risk resulting in frequent severe or fatal injuries from side underride crashes, NHTSA has taken no action to investigate recalling of semi-trailers without SUGs. This defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition.

Manufacturer’s Name: Thor Motor CoacheBay

Component Description: STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS

Recall Campaign:

Summary Description: Trailer Hitch Receiver Structure may Crack and Separate


Summary

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 5 complaints for various 2016-2022 Thor Motor CoacheBay motorhomes alleging that the trailer hitch receiver ("hitch") or recreational vehicle (RV) frame cracked and/or separated, including one which resulted in the towed item detaching and causing property damage. Other examples of hitch or frame cracking have been discovered prior to hitch separation. ODI has contacted the RV manufacturer, Thor, the frame extension manufacturer, Mor-Ryde, and the hitch manufacturer, LipperteBay, who, in response, allege that consumers are overloading the hitch. While the amount that a motorhome can tow must be calculated after determining the cargo, passenger and liquids weights, the hitch that failed had an 8,000lb limit and the vehicle it was flat-towing weighed approximately 4,000lbs. Hitch or frame cracking resulting in the towed item detaching and becoming loose on the roadway increases the risk of a crash to others on the roadway. ODI is opening this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) to evaluate the severity of the potential problem and to determine whether an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety exists. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.

Summary

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 37 complaints alleging inadvertent unlatching of seat belts in model year (MY) 2020-2023 HyundaieBay Palisade vehicles manufactured by HyundaieBay Motor America. The complaints allege that without warning, the seat belts sometimes inadvertently unlatch, increasing the risk of injury due to full loss of seat belt protection in the event of a crash. ODI is opening this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) to determine the scope and severity of the alleged problem and to assess the potential safety-related consequences. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.
