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.
1
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.

Filed Jul 2, 2015
I WAS DRIVING MY 1995 RV WITH A FORD E350 CHASSIS ON THE FREEWAY IN LAS VEGAS APPROXIMATELY FIVE MILES FROM HOME WHEN I NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION. I TRAVELED ANOTHER FIVE MILES AND THE REAR LEFT OUTSIDE TIRE LOST IT'S TREAD AND BLEW OUT RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL WELL AND DUMP HOSE STORAGE. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 110 DEGREES. MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE DELTA ESSENTIAL LT225/75 R16 AND WERE PURCHASED IN 2013. THEY HAVE BEEN DRIVEN 10,000 MILES AND VISUALLY APPEAR TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. THE AIR PRESSURE IS CHECKED REGULARLY. THE MATED TIRE WAS CHECKED AND THE PRESSURE WAS AT THE RECOMMENDED 60 PSI.

They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
