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.
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.

WE TOOK OUR VAN IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. OUR MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE FUEL FILL CLAMP HAD BEEN RUBBING AGAINST THE BRAKE LINE THAT WAS STARTING AN INDENTATION FROM THE ONGOING RUBBING. HE HAD SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN ANOTHER 2012 CHEVY VAN, BUT IN THAT CASE, THE RUBBING OF THE FUEL CLAMP, RESULTED IN A BRAKE IN THE LINE, LEAKING OF ALL BRAKE FLUID, CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING FUNCTION & ABILITY TO STOP VEHICLE. OUR MECHANIC ADVISED US TO GO TO THE NEAREST CHEVY SERVICE CENTER, WHERE THEY COULD ORDER THE PROPER PARTS AND FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC (LIKE TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKE FUNCTION) COULD HAPPEN. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS MALFUNCTION IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE AND STEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN FOR AN IMMEDIATE RECALL TO CHECK THESE 2012 VANS.

New Vehicle Monitoring Programs Section in IVH

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.
