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.

Latest Jul 26, 2007
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.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Jul 26, 2007
222 units potentially affected
The defect: CERTAIN AIRTEX FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLIES, P/N E7081H, SOLD FOR USE AS REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT FOR THE VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE. THE WALL OF THE FLARED FITTING OF THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT THICK ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE MATING THREADED FITTINGS FROM BOTTOMING OUT BEFORE AN ADEQUATE SEAL IS ACHIEVED. THIS CONDITION MAY RESULT IN LEAKAGE OF FUEL AT THE CONNECTION OF THE VEHICLE FUEL LINE AND THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLY.
The risk: IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A FUEL LEAK COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
The remedy: AIRTEX WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMPS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY 2007. OWNERS CAN CONTACT AIRTEX AUTOMOTIVE AT 800-880-3056.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT

Dec 18, 2000
393,796 units potentially affected
The defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. IF THE RUBBER BOOTS ON THE LOWER LATERAL ARM BALL JOINTS OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION WERE DAMAGED DURING ASSEMBLY, DIRT AND WATER CAN INTRUDE. ALSO, MMC HAS ADDED THE POTENTIAL OF LEAKING MOISTURE, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE BALL STUD TO CORRODE.
The risk: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE LOWER LATERAL ARM BALL JOINT TO SEPARATE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. THIS CAMPAIGN SUPERCEDES MMC'S PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN, SEE 99V-066.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE LOWER LATERAL ARM BALL JOINT FOR WEAR. BALL JOINTS THAT EXHIBIT WEAR BEYOND THE ESTABLISHED TOLERANCE WILL BE REPLACED WITH NEWLY DESIGNED LATERAL ARM BALL JOINTS. BALL JOINTS THAT ARE WITHIN THE ESTABLISHED TOLERANCE WILL BE CLEANED AND A SPECIAL SEALANT WILL BE APPLIED TO PREVENT INTRUSION OF MOISTURE.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY WHEN I MADE A LEFT TURN MY RPM'S WENT DOWN FROM ABOUT 3000 TO 1400 AND I HAD PROBLEMS ENGAGING THE CLUTCH. WHEN I GOT HOME, I WENT ONLINE AND STARTED MY RESEARCH ON MY VEHICLE. I FOUND OUT THAT I COULD POSSIBLY BE THE CRANK PULLEY. MY VEHICLE IS 15 YEARS OLD AND I KNOW THAT, BUT WHEN I RESEARCH THE RECALLS ON IT, THERE WERE 14 SAFETY RECALLS. WHILE I DON'T WANT THE CAR TO LOCK UP ON ME DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I HAVE TO FIX THAT BUT IN THIS DAY AND AGE, HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO PAY FOR ALL THE DEFECTS? I CERTAINLY CAN'T AFFORD ALL THE REPAIRS AND LIVING IN A RURAL AREA WHERE I HAVE NO CO-WORKERS LIVING BY ME HOW DO I DO THE REPAIRS AND STAY WITHOUT A CAR AND KEEP MY JOB. I DID WHAT I THOUGHT ALMOST EVERYONE DOES AND CHECKED A CARFAX REPORT BUT THAT DOESN'T SHOE THE RECALLS. I WISH I WAS AWARE OF THAT BUT NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A TIMEBOMB WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. DO ANY DEALERSHIPS SEE THIS AND FIX THEM AFTER 10 + YEARS JUST FOR SOMEONE'S SAFETY? I'M A SINGLE DAD AND CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE MY JOB OR FIX THE CAR BUT PEOPLE SHOULD BE MORE AWARE OF THESE THINGS INSTEAD OF JUST SEEING CARFAX COMMERCIALS. PLEASE ADVISE. SHOULD I CONTACT THE INSURANCE CARRIER NOW THAT I KNOW THIS? *TR
