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.
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.

TWO YEARS AGO I BOUGHT 4 NEW FIRESTONE TIRES FROM THE SEARS STORE IN HOT SPRINGS ARKANSAS, AND THEY MOUNTED THEM ON THE TRUCK. I KEPT THE SAME AIR PRESSURE THAT THEY PUT IN AT ALL TIMES. THEY ALL FAILED ONE AT A TIME AFTER ABOUT 25,000 MILES. IGOT EVERY EXCUSE UNDER THE SUN ABOUT IT BEING MY FAULT, I CALLED THE SEARS COMPLAINT NUMBER, AND THEY PUT IT DOWN IN THEIR COMPUTER, YOU MIGHT CAN GET MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE TIRES FROM THAT. I ALSO TALKED TO A MIKE SMITH AT THE FIRESTONE STORE IN HOT SPRINGS ARKANSAS, AND HE SAID IT WAS TIRE FAILURE FROM THE STELL BELTING SEPERATING, BUT THAT SEARS WOULD HAVE TO WARRANT THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY WAS MADE SPECIFIC FOR SEARS. THESE TIRES LOOKED LIKE YOU HAD CUT THEM WITH A KNIVE FOR ABOUT 2 INCHES IN THE CENTER OF THE TREAD THEN THEY JUST HULED OFF THE INNER CORE. NO WARNING WHEN THEY WOULD SPLIT. I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT DID'NT KNOW HOW TO FIND THEM OR HOW TO REPORT SUCH A THING. I COUD'NT GET SATISFACTION WITH MY PROBLEM THEN ,BUT MAYBE THIS WILL HELP FORCE FIRESTONE AND OTHER COMPANYS TO NOT PUT OUT A PRODUCT THAT CAN ENDANGER LIFES, THIS IS A CRIME AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THE LOSS OF LIFE TO MAKE A DOLLAR!( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 265/75R16 )

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.
