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.
0
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.
0
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.

THIS TIRE WAS INSTALLED ON A BOAT TRAILER IN 1990, WHEN DRIVING TO THE COAST ON 7/25/2000, GOING 55 MILES PER HOUR, WE NOTICED A SUDDEN IRREGULAR FEELING TO THE TRAILER. THIS WAS A SINGLE AXLE BOAT TRAILER, HAULING A 16 FOOT DORY BOAT. WHEN CHECKING THE BEARINGS BEFORE LAUNCIHNG THE BOAT INTO THE WATER, (@ 30 MINUTES AFTER FEELING THE IRREGULARITY) THE TIRE WAS DISCOVERED TO BE MISSING ALMOST ITS ENTIRE TOP LAYER. IT WAS STILL HOLDING AIR PRESSURE. AT THE TIME WE THOUGHT THAT WE HAD RUN OVER SOMETHING THAT HAD CUT EVENLY INTO THE TIRE, ON BOTH SIDES THAT PEELED THE CAP. WE CONSIDERED OURSELVES LUCKY THAT WORSE DID NOT HAPPEN. WE DID NOT THINK ANYTHING ELSE OF IT UNTIL THE RECALL OF FIRESTONE TIRES. IT IS NOT ON THE CURRENT LIST, AND WAS PURCHASED 10 YEARS AGO, BUT BEING IT CAME FROM THE SUSPECT PLANT, THIS PROBLEM MAY BE DEEPER THAN CURRENTLY KNOWN. WE STILL HAVE THE TIRE AND RIM, IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN PURSUEING THIS FURTHER.( DOT NUMBER: VDM5IE7083 TIRE SIZE: P195/75R15 )

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.
