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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Filed Apr 28, 2018

WHILE PARKED, OUR MAIN DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND OPEN. MY WIFE AND ANOTHER PERSON WERE INSIDE AND OTHERS OUTSIDE. IT TOOK THE PEOPLE ON THE OUTSIDE PUSHING ON THE DOOR TO PERMIT THE LOCK TO BE RELEASED. THE LOCK IN QUESTION IS THE ONE THAT CAN BE OPENED-LOCKED USING A KEY FOB. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TRYING TO UNLOCK-LOCK-UNLOCK THE DOOR. IT TOOK A NUMBER OF MINUTES OF PUSHING ON THE DOOR TO GET THE LOCK TO RELEASE. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT, I WAS INSIDE THE COACH WHEN THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN DUE TO THE LOCK NOT RELEASING. I PUSHED ON THE DOOR A NUMBER OF TIMES AND ALSO ATTEMPTED TO MANUALLY RELEASE THE LOCK TO NO AVAIL, AT LEAST FOR A FEW MINUTES. IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, THIS DELAY COULD BE DEADLY. THERE ARE LIMITED OTHER OPTIONS FOR EXITING THE COACH AND ALL WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR MY WIFE DUE TO HER MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND NOT TOO EASY FOR ME EITHER. DATE PROVIDED IS FOR THE FIRST INCIDENT MENTIONED. *TT *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
