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 Sep 6, 2007
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.

301 units potentially affected
The defect: THE FEDERAL CERTIFICATION LABEL OVERSTATES THE GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) AS 5,000 LBS. THE CORRECT GAWR IS 4,670 LBS. THIS DOES NOT CONFORM TO FMVSS NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS."
The risk: CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: THE LOAD RATING FOR THE TIRES AND ATIRES PRESSURES DESIGNATED ON THE FEDERAL CERTIFICATION LABEL ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE INCORRECTLY STATED GAWR. INCORRECT TIRE AND TIRE INFLATIONS CAN RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The remedy: OWNERS WILL BE SENT REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATION LABELS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING THEM. IF THEY PREFER, OWNERS CAN HAVE THEIR DEALERS REPLACE THESE LABELS FOR THEM.
