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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1968 FORD F250. THE VEHICLE HAS A SET OF COOPER PRO COMP MUDTRAIN TIRES (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSIDE WALL DESIGN OF THE TIRES WAS SPLITTING APART, WHICH CAUSED THE INSIDE TO BULGE AND CRACK. THE FAILURE WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE VEHICLE RECEIVED A FLAT TIRE. HE CALLED COOPER TIRES AND THEY ADVISED HIM TO SEND THEM THE TIRES; HOWEVER, THIS COULD NOT BE DONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY TIRES AT ALL. THE MANUFACTURER WANTED THE CONTACT TO PAY FOR SHIPPING AND THE COST TO REPAIR THE TIRE FAILURE. THEY ALSO CHARGED $32 PER TIRE FOR EVERY TREAD THAT WAS USED. THE CONTACT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THESE TIRES DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE NEAREST STORE IS 25 MILES AWAY. THE DOT NUMBER, CORRECT TIRE SIZE, VIN, AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.
