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 Jul 26, 2006
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.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE LACK OF RESPONSE TO A RECALL. I NOTICED ONLINE, THAT THE HAULMARK SNOWMOBILE TRAILERS THAT WERE BUILT AND SOLD DURING 2006, HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DEXTER AXLES SUPPLIED WITH THEM. I PURCHASED A 2006, 19 FOOT, HAULMARK SNOWMOBILE TRAILER ON 3-31-2006. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM DEXTER AXLE ABOUT THIS, AND HAVE TRIED AT LEAST 2 DIFFERENT TIMES CALLING THE DEXTER AXLE RECALL LINE 1-800-400-2164. THERE IS NO ONE TO TALK TO, ONLY A RECORDING TO LEAVE NAME & NUMBER, SO I DID SO. AFTER 3 WEEKS TIME, THERE HAS STILL BEEN NO RETURN CALL, OR ANSWER TO MY INQUIRY ABOUT THIS! I'M VERY WORRIED THAT THERE WILL BE SOME SORT OF PROBLEM WITH THIS TRAILER ON THE HIGHWAY. HAULMARK WAS ALSO CONTACTED, BUT WAS RELUCTANT TO HELP IN ANY WAY! WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS TOTAL DISREGARD FOR SAFETY!! *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.
