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.

Filed Jan 5, 2013

AFTER A REPAIR TO THE TRANSMISSION BY A LICENSED FACILITY, THE PROP SHAFT DEPARTED THE REAR AXLE DUE TO A FLANGE BREAKING. THE PROP SHAFT FAILED AROUND AND TORE OFF THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE TRANSMISSION AND THE REAR BRAKE LINES; THE CABLE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ALSO COMPROMISED. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE STOPPED. ALL POWER STEERING AND ALL BRAKING WAS LOST; THE TRUCK ROLLED TO A STOP, AND THEN ROLLED BACKWARDS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE INTO A SNOW BANK. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS A FAILURE LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED SUCH A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF CONTROL- THE FRONT BRAKES AT LEAST SHOULD HAVE WORKED. *TR

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.
