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.

THE DOOR STRIKER POST ON THE DOOR KEEPS FAILING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO FOUR DIFFERENT VEHICLES ALL THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THE METAL BEHIND THE STRIKER POST IS TOO WEAK AND CRACKS OUT. THIS ALLOWS THE DOOR TO BREAK FREE AND SWING OPEN. THIS CREATES A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY OF A FIREFIGHTER FALLING FROM THE APPARATUS. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ANDY NEYLON, ARLINGTON, TEXAS FIRE DEPARTMENT AT 817-459-5520 IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS

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.
