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.

I REPLACED MY ORIGINAL TRAILER TIRES AFTER 10 YEARS OF USE. I BOUGHT TOW MASTER TIRES, ST 215-75R-14 LOAD RANGE C MANUFACTURED DATE 1312 DOT 53JD SPH. THEY WERE INTALLED ON A EZ LOAD SINGLE AXLE TRAILER. ON 7/23/16 TRAVELING ON I 81 SOUTH AT 65 MPH ONE OF MY TRAILER TIRES EXPLODED. THERE ISN'T MUCH LEFT, BREAD IS GONE AND SIDEWALL ARE CRACKED TO THE BEAD. TEMP WAS ABOUT 80* AND TIRES WERE INFLATED TO 48 PSI COLD TEMP. THESE TIRES HAVE VERY LOW MILAGE ON THEM, AROUND 3000 MILES AND ARE GARAGE KEPT ON TRAILER. I EVEN USE WHEEL COVERS WHEN IN THE SUN. THIS TIRE EXPLODED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THANK GOD NOBODY CRASHED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEED 65 MPH.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

EQUIPMENT

THIS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL OVERSIGHT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF WHEEL NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
