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 Jun 20, 2005
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.

Body & structure
Filed Jul 6, 2006

FRONT CAP OF A 2005 HAULMARK TRAILER HAS SPLIT OPEN. THIS CREATES AN UNSAFE OPERATING CONDITION. THE PLASTIC CAP COULD BE TORN FROM THE FRONT OF THE TRAILER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CAUSE A COLLISION, DAMAGE OR INJURY TO OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY. I CANNOT USE THE TRAILER DUE TO THIS CONDITION. THE PURCHASE DATE IN APPROXIMATE. MY REGISTRATION WAS ISSUED 3/2005. HAULMARK HAS REFUSED TO RETURN MY CALLS AND EMAILS REGARDING THE CONDITION. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT CAPS ON THESE TRAILERS. THE DATE BELOW IS THE DATE I FOUND THE DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT. *JB

I WAS DRIVING WITH THE TRAILER ATTACHED TO MY TRUCK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRAILER AXLE BROKE WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. THE TRAILER SWERVED ON THE ROAD ALMOST HITTING EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH. LATER THAT DAY MY TRUCK DID NOT WANT TO START ANYMORE I AM NOT SURE IF THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO DIRECTLY WITH WHAT OCCURRED WITH THE TRAILER. *NM

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.
