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.

ENGINE

SERVICE BULLETIN - THE PURPOSE OF THIS BULLETIN IS TO DESCRIBE DIFFERENT INSTANCES WHERE OIL CONSUMPTION OCCURS AND TO MAKE AVAILABLE A WORKSHEET TO ASSIST THE TECHNICIAN IN DETERMINING IF OIL CONSUMPTION IS EXCESSIVE.

THEREFORE, OIL USAGE AS A FACTOR OF FUEL USAGE IS A MORE ACCURATE INDICATOR OF ACCEPTABLE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE ACCEPTED RATE OF OIL CONSUMPTION FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES IN THIS BULLETIN IS 0.946 LITER (1 QT) WITHIN 379 LITERS (100 GALLONS) OF FUEL USED. THIS RATE ONLY APPLIES TO VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY, MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, DRIVEN AT LEGAL SPEEDS AND WITHIN DESIGN INTENT OF THE VEHICLE. MANY FACTORS CAN AFFECT AN OWNER'S CONCERN WITH OIL CONSUMPTION. DRIVING HABITS AND VEHICLE MAINTENANCE VARY FROM OWNER TO OWNER. THOROUGHLY EVALUATE EACH CASE BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS ABNORMAL ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION.
