Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

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.
0
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 May 26, 1987
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.

SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY:LEAF

Nov 17, 1983
520 units potentially affected
The defect: A SPRING LEAF MAY FRACTURE THROUGH THE CENTER HOLE SECTION. THIS OCCURS DUE TO LOOSENING OF THE SPRING-TO-AXLE MOUNTING ATTACHMENT FOLLOWING EXTREME FLEXING OF THE SPRING LEAVES. THIS KIND OF FRACTURE MAKES THE REMAINING TWO LEAVES VULNERABLE TO PROGRESSIVE FRACTURE.
The remedy: VEHICLES WILL HAVE THE THREE-LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED UNIT.
