Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

I AM CHOOSING TO STAY ANONYMOUS FOR FEAR OF RETRIBUTION BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE PRODUCT IN QUESTION IS A HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE UNION, MANUFACTURED AND DISTRIBUTED BY AGS COMPANY AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS, 2651 HOYT ST., MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN. THE PRODUCT, PART NUMBER BLU-3 IS A STEEL UNION USED TO JOIN (2) 3/16" BRAKE LINES WITH INVERTED FLARE SEATS. IT IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED IN THE AFTERMARKET AS WELL AS USED IN A VARIETY OF KITS THAT THEY SELL. THE INTERNAL THREADS ARE MALFORMED AND NOT TRUE TO THE CENTERLINE OF THE FITTING. ADDITIONALLY, THE SEAT AREA THAT BISECTS THE FITTING IS NOT CENTERED. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THESE TWO NON-CONFORMING ISSUES COULD LEAD TO THE FITTING LEAKING OR WORSE DETACHING IN USE, LEADING TO A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE.*DT *TR
