Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

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.
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.

31 units potentially affected
The defect: ON INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE REAR AXLE HUB UPRIGHT, WHICH CONNECTS THE HUB CARRIER TO THE LOWER CONTROL ARM, MAY PIVOT SLIGHTLY. THIS CONDITION WILL OCCUR IF THE BOLTS ATTACHING THE UPRIGHT TO THE HUB CARRIER ARE NOT KEPT TIGHT, COMBINED WITH SEVERE CORNERING CONDITIONS. THIS PIVOTING CONDITION WILL CAUSE THE BOLTS TO ELONGATE THE HOLES OF THE UPRIGHT, RESULTING IN REAR WHEEL VIBRATION. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO HUB CARRIER BREAKAGE.
The remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE UPRIGHT PART OF THE HUB ASSEMBLY AT NO CHARGE.
