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 Mar 19, 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.

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.

The remedy: SAMSUNG WILL NOTIFY CUSTOMERS AND REPAIR THE PANEL FREE OF CHARGE. IN THE MEANTIME, CONSUMERS SHOULD UNPLUG THEIR MICROWAVE, IF POSSIBLE. IF THE CONSUMER IS UNABLE TO UNPLUG THE MICROWAVE, THEY SHOULD LEAVE THE DOOR AJAR UNTIL THE PANEL IS REPLACED.

ON 6/17/11 I WAS DRIVING THE RV I JUST PURCHASED ON 6/1/11 WITH MY 2 SONS AND HEARD ONE OF MY BACK TIRES BLOW OUT. PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND THE PASSENGER INSIDE REAR TIRE HAD BLOWN OFF. DROVE TO A GARAGE WHERE THEY PUT THE SPARE ON. ON 7/28/11 MY WIFE AND I AND ANOTHER COUPLE WERE ON OUR WAY TO FLORIDA IN THE RV. WE DROVE 200 MILES WHEN ONE OF THE TIRES BLEW OUT. WHEN WE FOUND A GAS STATION TO PULL OVER AT WE SAW THAT IT WAS THE SPARE TIRE WE HAD REPLACED FROM THE FIRST BLOWOUT. THE GARAGE ONLY HAD 1 USED TIRE THAT THEY GAVE US TO GET US TO A TIRE DEALER. AT OUR NEXT STOP FOR GAS WE CHECKED THE TIRES AND NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR INSIDE TIRE WAS HOT AND HUMPED IN THE MIDDLE. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER WE COULD SMELL RUBBER AND THEN STARTED HEARING PIECES OF THE TIRE COMING OFF. WE FOUND A TIRE DEALERSHIP IN GEORGIA AND PURCHASED 3 NEW FIRESTONE TIRES WHICH WAS WHAT WE HAD ON THE FRONT OF THE RV. THE 4 TIRES ON THE BACK AND THE SPARE WERE ALL COOPER TIRES AND WERE BOUGHT IN 2009. THE RV ONLY HAD A TOTAL OF 24,000 MILES ON IT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT AND SINCE THE COOPER TIRES WERE JUST BOUGHT IN 2009 THEY COULDN'T HAVE HAD MANY MILES ON THEM AND I DON'T THINK THE SPARE HAD EVER BEEN ON THE ROAD UNTIL WE PUT IT ON. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRES IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
