05 The Shadow Cruiser in this site’s records
Spec pages: 8 floorplans on the Cruiser RV Shadow Cruiser line page, for model year 2025. None of those years falls inside the federal record above, which runs 2006 to 2024.
None of the 8 Shadow Cruiser floorplans here has separate records for two model years, so this site measures no change between years for this line.
What was queried: NHTSA’s model list for recalls carried no model under this line’s name for the makes we queried, so no recall lookup was made under it. The complete recall file added 11 of the 12 campaigns above, and every complaint count comes from the complete complaint file.
Counts of NHTSA records matched on NHTSA’s own model field; a complaint is one owner’s unverified report, and an empty year is an empty record, not a clean one (how this record is built). Check a trailer by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you buy.
