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.

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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 INFINITI M30. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SIX MONTHS AGO AND IS BEGINNING TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME FAILURES AS MENTIONED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 95I006000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER LOOKED UP HIS VIN AND STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE NO LONGER QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL UNLESS THEY DECIDED TO WITHDRAW THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS VOLUNTARY. THE CONTACT THEN FAXED THE INFORMATION TO THE INFINITI DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR HAD NEVER BEEN PERFORMED AND THE CAMPAIGN WAS STILL OPEN. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT HE COULD HAVE THE RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED BECAUSE HIS VIN WAS INCLUDED AMONG THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. THE REGIONAL MANAGER FROM THE CHICAGO, IL OFFICE STATED THAT THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS BASED ON HIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS STILL OPEN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 116,000.
