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.

Latest Aug 24, 2005
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.

WITH OUR NEW 2006 BEAVER MONTERY MOTOR COACH, THE FIRST TIME WE USED UNIT IN THE RAIN, THE WIPERS FAILED, WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER GOING OFF THE GLASS TO THE LEFT MOST POSITION OFF OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN WE CALLED 24 HR SERVICE LINE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND CONTROL ARM AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. SINCE WE WERE ON HIGHWAY IN VERY HEAVY RAIN, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTINUE UNTIL RAIN STOPPED. IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL. *JB

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.
