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.

DEALER DID NOT INSPECT TIRES. SOLD US AN RV WITH 10 YEAR OLD TIRES. WE BLEW THREE TIRES ON OUR FIRST ROAD TRIP WHILE DRIVING ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. WE PAID $1700 FOR A DELIVERY INSPECTION. EVEN WITHOUT THIS I WOULD IMAGINE THAT RV DEALERS SHOULD DO A SAFETY INSPECTION. WE DID NOT KNOW THAT TIRES HAD MANUFACTURE YEAR MODELS ON THEM.
