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.

TPMS continues to not work and show false readings and/or no readings at all with continued warnings on the dash instrument cluster effecting operation of vehicles other instrument warning systems. Recall was issued in 2022 for this system for manufacture and has not resolved issues. Safety of all drivers and passengers is a concern as all warning systems are compromised as tire pressure and temperature are incorrect or missing. Vehicle has been back to manufactures repair centers several times with no resolve. It is understanding that this same problem is still current in many of the Freightliner vehicles of this year model.
