Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My rv is only 9 months old and it is on city power. Lights with motion sensing- the light in the motion sensing position, started to smoke and indicate fire within the light itself. Model #sd1510-pir 12v dc, 4w smd LED. On grand designs web site it indicates not to use the light pictured and to use a different part number. They are no longer wanting to install the original part for some reason. The potential for fire and a death are high if we don't remedy this issue. I was fortunate enough to be present when it failed. I still have 4 more of the same lights in my rv.”
