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.
0
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.

Service info: Conversion of imported vehicles. Technical background: Conversion of a vehicle for use in a market other than the one for which it was originally designed or intended is not supported. Enquiries related to conversions or retrofits of vehicles from (or to) other markets (e.g. reimport from USA or UK) are not supported by Technical Support. Vehicles are developed and constructed according to specific market requirements of the respective destination country. As the compatibility of different components (e.g. control units) cannot be defined comprehensively regarding their mutual dependence and interaction in the case of modifications, and in order to prevent danger or risks due to constructional changes, support or advice regarding these modifications cannot be provided.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
