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.

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.

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.

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.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE

Sep 3, 2015
23 units potentially affected
The defect: Eldorado National-Kansas (Eldorado) is recalling certain model year 2015 Amerivan vehicles built on Toyota Sienna chassis manufactured July 1, 2015, to August 20, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the Toyota seat belt tab may not properly latch to the Amerivan's Qstem seat belt buckle assembly. As a result, the seat belt may unlatch unexpectedly when pulled on. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorage."
The risk: If the seat belt unlatches, the occupant would not be properly restrained and is at an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The remedy: Eldorado will notify owners, and dealers will install a new Q-stem assembly with an alternate buckle assembly, free of charge. The recall began on October 7, 2015. Owners may contact Eldorado customer service at 1-785-827-1033.
