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.

Airbags
Filed May 1, 2014

THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO BE ILLUMINATED AT ANY SPEED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN APRIL '14. NHTSA RECALL 14V-138 WAS COMPLETED ON APRIL 17, 2014 AND FAILED ON APRIL 19, 2014 AND WAS REPEATED ON APRIL 20,. 2014. IT FAILED AGAIN ON APRIL 21ST. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED SINCE AND THAT WAS OVER A WEEK AGO. I CONTACTED NISSAN INFINITY AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER NOW. I FEEL WE ARE DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND IT IS NOT BEING CORRECTED. *TR

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.
