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.

MY TRAVEL TRAILER HAS A FRONT DINING BOOTH, WHICH DOUBLES AS A BED WHEN THE TABLE IS IN THE LOWERED POSITION. THE ORIGINAL WOOD SUPPORTS FOR THE TABLE ON THE SEAT FRONTS ARE TOO THIN TO ACCOMMODATE THE TABLE WHEN USED AS A BED. THE TABLE HAS FALLEN OFF THE WOOD RAILINGS AND OUT OF THE METAL HANGING SUPPORTS. THE WOOD ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRONTS IS SKINNED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TABLE. THE TABLE HAS COLLAPSED, TEARING OFF THE TABLE SUPPORT AND LANDING ON MY FOOT. I SUSTAINED A FOOT INJURY IN THE LATEST COLLAPSE, PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED.

MY TRAVEL TRAILER CAME EQUIPPED WITH 2 COKER P225-75R15 PASSENGER CAR TIRES. THE SIDEWALLS ON THESE 2 CAR TIRES ARE TOO WEAK TO SUPPORT THE GVW OF THE TRAILER. THE TIRES REQUIRE AN EXTRA 10 LBS. OF AIR PRESSURE ABOVE THE PSI STATED ON THE TIRES IN ORDER TO RIDE PROPERLY. THEY STILL BULGE AS THOUGH GOING FLAT EVEN WITH THE ADDITIONAL AIR PRESSURE. THIS TRAVEL TRAILER SHOULD HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH SPECIAL TRAILER TIRES WITH STRONGER SIDEWALLS AT A MINIMUM. WE WORRY CONSTANTLY ABOUT HAVING A BLOWOUT.

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.
