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 Apr 22, 2012

THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK HAS EXPANDED TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE AND INSTALL FOR REQUIRED MAINTENANCE. IT IS MISALIGNED WITH BODY PARTS AND THE SIDE COVERS DON'T FIT WELL ANYMORE AND POP OPEN. IT IS DAMAGING TO THE OTHER BODY PARTS. I HAVE READ THAT FUEL LEAKAGE WILL BE THE END RESULT OF THE PROBLEM AS IT CONTINUES TO EXPAND AND THAT THE TANK CAN COME OFF IN A CRASH. *TR
