Limited data — recalls on file

NCAP overall
2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
THE WELDING OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET OF THE GASOLINE TANK COULD FAIL TO PROPERLY SECURE THE FUEL TANK. IF THE MOUNTING BRACKET FAILS FUEL LEAKAGE AND POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF THE TANK FROM THE VEHICLE MAY OCCUR.
Remedy
DEALER WILL DISCONNECT THE MOUNTING BRACKET AND REPLACE IT WITH STRAP MOUNTING AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER. IF THE FUEL TANK LEAKS, IT WILL ALSO BE REPLACED.
Defect
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES A BENDING OF THE FRAME MAY DEVELOP NEAR THE POINTS OF ATTACHMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND VEHICLE BODY. THIS BENDING MAY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR STRUCTURES OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy
DEALER WILL INSTALL ADDITIONAL STEEL PLATES AT THE POINTS OF UNDERCARRIAGE ATTACHMENT, REPOSITION EXISTING SHOCK ABSORBERS, AND ADD TWO MORE WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 2 recalls should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns affecting the 1980 Holiday Rambler Rambler. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
