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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Filed Nov 14, 2018

THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER SEAL FAILED MAKING THE CLUTCH INOPERABLE. I WAS MOVING ON A DIRT ROAD AT THE TIME MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SHIFT GEARS. THE SEAL HAD A RIP CAUSING IT TO FAIL. THE MOTORCYCLE HAD 813 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE AND IT WAS LESS THAN A YEAR SINCE I TOOK POSSESSION. IN READING ON THE INTERNET FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS, WHICH THERE WERE MANY, THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION, HAD I BEEN IN TRAFFIC I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DISENGAGE THE ENGINE FROM THE WHEEL. IT MAY HAVE CAUSED ME TO REAR END SOMEONE.

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.
