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.

Filed May 30, 2017

WE WERE ON THE FORWARD BED THAT SITS OVER THE PROPANE TANK AND BATTERY. MY 15 MONTH OLD SON ROLLED OVER TO THE "DRIVER SIDE" OF THE BED AND FELL THROUGH THE SIDE ONTO A CONCRETE PAD. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY A 4 FOOT FALL. THE VELCRO THAT HOLDS THE CANVAS TO THE BED DID NOT HOLD AND ALLOWED HIM TO FALL THROUGH. THE CAMPER WAS IN A CAMPSITE ON A CONCRETE PAD AND SET UP PER SPECIFICATIONS. IT WAS STATIONARY. OLDER MODELS USED TO HAVE BUNGEE TIE DOWNS THAT HELD THE SIDES OF THE CANVAS TO THE BED. THESE DO NOT EXIST ON THIS MODEL. LUCKILY NO INJURIES WERE CAUSED, BUT HE WAS CLOSE TO HITTING THE FRAME AND EDGE OF THE STORAGE BIN. *DT CARFAX CANNOT PROCESS THIS REQUEST. VIN NOT VALID.*JB

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.
