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.

CONTINUOUS BRAKE FAILURE AFTER REPEATED REPAIR ATTEMPTS. THE PARKING BRAKE LOCKS AND HAS TO BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE HYDRO-BOOST. REPLACED FIRST TRANSMISSION WITH COMPLETE INTERNAL FAILURE DUE TO OVERHEATING FROM BRAKES (FRONT DISC AND PARKING) LOCKING UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. 11/13/07 - ENGINE FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AS A RESULT OF THE BRAKES PLACING UNDUE STRAIN ON THE DRIVETRAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE TORQUE CONVERTOR WAS REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ENGINE DUE TO THE BRAKE PROBLEMS. 11/12/10 - A SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH ONLY 59,190 MILES WITH NO OVERDRIVE OR REVERSE GEARS. THE PARKING BRAKE DRUM FOR THIS VEHICLE IS MOUNTED ON THE REAR OF THE TRANSMISSION WHICH ALLOWS EXCESS HEAT TO BUILD UP AND DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, AN AFTERMARKET TRANSMISSION FILTER (PLACED IN THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR) WAS INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE MOTOR HOME AND FOUND TO BE CLOGGED. RESEARCH DISCOVERED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FILTER WENT OUT OF BUSINESS WHEN THEY FAILED TO ENGINEER A BYPASS VALVE INTO THE FILTER WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION AND/OR ENGINE FAILURE COMPLAINTS AND LAWSUITS.
