SEE NHTSA RECALL11V-248 EXTERIOR LIGHTING, TAIL LIGHTS. THIS RECALL WAS FOR 2011 DAMON AVANTI ON FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS (DAIMLER TRUCKS); HOWEVER, 2011 DAMON AVANTI MOTORHOMES WERE ALSO BUILT ON WORKHORSE CHASSIS (NAVISTAR). MY MOTORHOME HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME TAIL LIGHT PROBLEMS (FRIENDS TRAVELING BEHIND STATING MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING). WHILE TRAVELING IN CANADA LAST YEAR, AFTER I WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT WORKING I CONTACTED THOR MOTOR COACH CUSTOMER SERVICE AND A REP TOLD ME TO TURN A NUT UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL; I DID THIS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON BUT ALSO THE AMBER LIGHTS. THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE CONTINUED TO NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY (AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY ARE NOT WORKING). THOR MOTOR COACH CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT HELP.

THIS SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND BECAUSE OF THE ALARM, THE FLASHING LIGHTS, I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO FEAR. THIS JACK LEVELING SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. HAVING SAID THAT, I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE AS I CANNOT TRUST THAT THE LEVELING SYSTEM WILL NOT ACTIVATE ITSELF AGAIN, AND MAYBE THIS TIME THE JACKS WILL DROP AND STRIKE THE ROAD SURFACE AND CAUSE ME TO LOSE STEERING AND BRAKING CONTROL. I HAVE ASKED THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE ONLY TO BE TOLD TI TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE MANUFACTURER'S NAME IS LIPPERT CONTROLS INC. THE NAME OF THE JACK LEVELING SYSTEM THE "ULTRA LEVEL SYSTEM". *TR

Is 2 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2014 and 2015, roughly 2 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset.
