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.

THE BUS WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GETTING UP TO SPEED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HAD AN ELECTRIC COMPONENT FAIL AND THAT CAUSED THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WITH NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP AND HAD NO WAY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AT ALL. WE HAVE SISTER BUSES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ALSO BUT IT HAS BEEN AT A PARKING LOT OR IN OUR LOT WE HAVE 5 MORE OF THESE BUSES. IF THIS HAPPENS IN AN INTERSECTION OR APPROACHING AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THERE IS NO WAY TO MOVE THE BUS OTHER THAN A TOW TRUCK . EATON TRANSMISSION HAS A REPLACEMENT PART TO FIX THIS ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE.THESE ARE LOW MILEAGE UNITS WITH 20,000 - 30,0000 MILES ON THEM. THE PART THAT FAILS IS A MAGNET IN A PLASTIC HOLDER THAT GETS BRITTLE AND FALLS APART OR THE MAGNET BREAKS APART CAUSING THE SAME RESULTS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNDER ITS OWN POWER. ACCORDING TO THE BUS COMPANY, THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN OTHER BUS COMPANIES WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSIONS. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE INVOICES ON WOK PREFORMED FROM THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT YET.
