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.

Latest Aug 22, 2001
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.

The defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: L SCHOOL BUSES EQUIPPED WITH A FLOOR-MOUNTED TRACK USED TO ACCOMMODATE AND SECURE WHEELCHAIRS. THE FLOOR-MOUNTED TRACK BOLTS, USED TO SECURE THIS TRACK TO THE FLOOR, ARE TOO LONG AND PROTRUDE THROUGH THE WHEEL WELL. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE PROTRUDING BOLTS WILL PUNCTURE THE REAR TIRES IF THE TIRES SHOULD BE PUSHED UP INTO THEIR FULL JOUNCE POSITION.
The risk: THE REAR TIRES COULD BE PUNCTURED WITHOUT WARNING POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A VEHICLE CRASH.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LONG TRACK BOLTS WITH SHORTER BOLTS THAT WILL SIT FLUSH WITH THE RETAINING NUTS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN SEPTEMBER 24, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT COLLINS AT 1-800-533-1850.
