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.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED 4 FRONT TIRE FAILURES WITH THE CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX TIRES THAT ARE OEM ON THE 2018 GENESIS G80 SPORT. ALL FAILURES HAVE BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH 2 COMPLETE SIDEWALL FAILURES AND 2 BLOWOUTS. IN EACH INSTANCE I HAD NO WARNING AND HAD TO CAREFULLY MOVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING OVER 40 YEARS AND HAVE ONLY EXPERIENCED ONE OTHER BLOWOUT. WITH THIS VEHICLE/TIRE COMBINATION I HAVE HAD 4 BLOWOUTS IN 90 DAYS. THE CAR HAS 5,600 MILES ON IT. THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

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.
