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.

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.

WIFE AND I LEFT FOR FLORIDA MARCH 12, 2009 TOWING 30 FT CAMPER. WE ESTIMATE TO HAVE LESS THAN 3,000 MILES ON "TOW MASTER V" TIRES. WE PURCHASED THE CAMPER NEW IN JULY 2007. I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE COLD AT 45 P.S.I BEFORE WE LEFT HOME. IT WAS A CLEAR, WARM, SUNNY DAY. APPROXIMATELY FOUR (4) HOURS INTO THE TRIP, JUST IN FLORIDA, TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 62 M.P.H. WE EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAMPER, FRONT TIRE. I DID NOT HIT ANY OBJECT IN THE ROADWAY. THERE WAS TREAD SEPARATION AND IT WAS LIKE THE SECTION WITH ALL THE TREAD FROM SIDE TO SIDE STARTED FLAPPING. I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY, WITHIN 300 FEET. WE WERE APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET FROM A REST AREA SO I VERY SLOWLY TOWED THE CAMPER INTO THE FIRST PARKING SPOT AND STOPPED. THIS IS THE ONLY TIRE FAILURE WE HAVE INCURRED AND I CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY THE TIRE FAILED. I HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT THE CAMPER SALES WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAMPER BUT I WILL. *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.
