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 Mar 11, 1994
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.

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR

Feb 1, 1994
102 units potentially affected
The defect: IMPROPER TORQUE OF THE RETAINING BOLTS AND NUTS OF THE STEERING COLUMN SLIP SHAFT, WHICH PROVIDES THE CONNECTING LINK BETWEEN THE UPPER STEERING COLUMN AND THE STEERING GEAR BOX, MAY CAUSE THE STEERING COLUMN SLIP SHAFT TO SEPARATE AT EITHER THE UPPER OR LOWER CONNECTION OF THE SHAFT.
The risk: SEPARATION OF THE STEERING COLUMN SLIP SHAFT AT EITHER THE UPPER OR LOWER CONNECTION OF THE SHAFT RESULTS IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THIS COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AND RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The remedy: INSPECT AND RETORQUE THE SLIP SHAFT RETAINING BOLTS AND NUTS. HOWEVER, IF, AFTER THE INSPECTION, THE BOLTS AND NUTS ARE FOUND TO BE LOOSE OR OVERTORQUED, NEW BOLTS AND NUTS WILL BE INSTALLED AND PROPERLY TORQUED.
