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.

Filed Nov 12, 2001

DURING AN INVESTIGATION OF A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH AT SOME PREVIOUS TIME HAD BEEN PATCHED WITH A GREY SUBSTANCE. THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH IS MOUNTED IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK, CONTAINED SOME GASOLINE WHICH HAD LEAKED OUT OF THE TANK UNDER PRESSURE. AS A FELT THE TOP OF THE PUMP (THE CAR WAS IDLING) I HAPPENED TO TOUCH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON THE TOP OF THE PUMP. THE CONNECTOR WAS EXTREMELY HOT AND WAS SIZZLING. WHEN I REMOVED THE PUMP I DISCOVERED THAT WIRES ON THE PUMP INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WERE BURNT AND THE INSULATION HAD MELTED. I REPLACED THE PUMP FROM SAAB AND I KEPT THE DAMAGED PUMP.*AK
