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 Dec 17, 2008
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.

Filed Aug 1, 2011

THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR A SCHOOL BUS. TWO OF THE DOUBLE PANE WINDOW PANELS ON THE SERVICE DOOR HAVE SOME CONDENSATION BETWEEN THEM. THE CONDENSATION WILL NOT GO AWAY. THIS STARTED IN JUNE 2011. ALL THE SAME SCHOOL BUSES IN OUR TOWN HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN THE CONDENSATION DOES DRY, IT LEAVES A WHITE COATING ON THE GLASS BETWEEN THE PANES WHICH IS DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH, CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE WINDOWS MUST BE REPLACED ---AT A HIGH COST. IT SEEMS THE WINDOWS ARE DEFECTIVE. *KB

RADIO DIAGNOSTICS AND INFORMATION

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
