Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:120/240 VAC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INVERTER filed August 28, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1923032 (ODI reference 11541280) concerns a 2022 FORD F-53 and was filed on August 28, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 31, 2023. The vehicle had 7,220 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:120/240 vac electrical system:inverter, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-53 cohort independently describe similar equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:120/240 vac electrical system:inverter failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 FORD F-53 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2022 Jayco Precept 36C built on a 2022 Ford F-53 chassis. The contact stated that while her husband was driving 60 MPH, the front shade suddenly unfurled, preventing front-view visibility. No warning lights were illuminated. The RV was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the shade unfurling motor. The RV was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but was unable to assist. The failure mileage was 7,220.
