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.

Feature code 0008TSJ for auto start stop is a feature that will allow you to preset values in the body controller to allow the truck to start when the battery voltage or engine oil temperature reaches the preset value. The engine will then run for a preset time after battery voltage is within programmed value (if the engine started for low voltage) or the engine will run until oil temperature reaches a programmed value (if the engine started for oil temperature).

ENGINE

Effective January 1, 2008 , engines built for vehicles registered in California or a CARB (Air Resources Board of California) opt-in state must be emission certified under the new California Idle Reduction Rule (CCR Title 13 Section 1956.8(a)(6)). A CARB opt-in state is any state other than California that requires CARB emission certified engines. The new ruling states that new diesel-powered vehicles with a GVWR greater than 14,000 lbs and a MY2008 or later engine that are initially registered in California must have a tamper-proof engine shutdown system (ESS) or a low NOx idle main engine unless it is a vocationally exempted vehicle.

This article provides guidance to dealership personnel, Technical Services personnel, Dealer Service Managers (DSMs), and Compliance personnel when a vehicle is identified as having an aftertreatment delete or emissions system tampering by use of non-certified aftermarket emission parts.

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.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
