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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 EAGLE SUMMIT WAGON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE SYSTEM FAILED IN THE VEHICLE. THE GUIDE RAIL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTAINS A COVERED CABLE AND AN ANGLED BELT GUIDE AT THE TOP END OF THE WEBBING. OVER TIME, THE COMBINATION OF THESE FACTORS COULD LEAD TO THE CABLE'S MOVEMENT AND EXERT ABRADING FORCE TO THE LOWER EDGES OF THE CABLE'S CHAMBER. AS A RESULT, THE CABLE COULD DROP OUT OF THE CHAMBER WITH THE SHOULDER BELT ANCHORAGE BECOMING STUCK. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PART THAT WAS NEEDED WAS NO LONGER BEING PRODUCED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE OVER 100,000.
