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.

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.

ON (4) OCCASIONS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. ONE CAN FEEL IT START TO WORK AND THEN THE BRAKING SYSTEM JUST STOPS. THE VEHICLE JUST FELLS LIKE IT IS ROLLING ALONG. THERE IS NO STOPPING ABILITY. THIS HAPPENS ON ANY ROAD CONDITONS. *AK
