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.

Latest Aug 15, 2008
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.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD "POP". I THOUGHT WE MIGHT HAVE BLOWN A TIRE SO I PULLED OVER TO INVESTIGATE. THE TIRES WERE FINE. I COULD SMELL COOLANT, SO I OPENED THE HOOD AND DISCOVERED THAT THE FAN BLADES HAD COME APART, TEARING APART THE FAN SHROUD, AND ULTIMATELY PUNCTURING MULTIPLE HOLES IN THE RADIATOR. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE FREEWAY (I WAS RIGHT NEXT TO AN OFFRAMP), THE VEHICLE STALLED, LUCKILY IT IS EQUIPPED WITH BACK UP ELECTRICAL BRAKES, I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE A PAIR OF NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS AND PINCH THE HOLES OF THE RADIATOR TO HOLD ENOUGH WATER TO GET HOME, LUCKILY WE WERE ONLY ABOUT 10 MINUTES FROM HOME. *TR

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.
