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 Aug 20, 1993
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.

MY RV LOST BRAKES AND POWER STEERING BECAUSE OF A BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILURE. I TOOK IT TO THE RV IN FOR REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO REPLACEMENT PART. THEY TOLD ME, THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD GET TO THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING, WAS TO BY-PASS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. ONCE THEY DID THAT, THE PARK FEATURE NO LONGER WORKED. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE A SAFETY PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET CORPORATION SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING IT. ...UPDATED 10/22/14 *BF
