1992 Centurion Cobra

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.
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.
1
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.

INADVERTENT RECLINING POWER BENCH SEAT

Opened Feb 23, 2000

Centurion converts production vans into small recreational vehicles, with power operated rear seats that recline into a bed for sleeping.The bed, when fully reclined, is about the size of a standard double bed mattress.The reclining process can be activated by one or more switches located in the vehicle.The switch or switches are always operable, even when the vehicle's ignition switch is in the off and locked position.When the button switch is activated, separate parts of the bench seats move to form the flat bed. This seat moving process takes about 8 to 10 seconds.It is alleged that a four year old child was trapped under a seat and died.
