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.

Crash reported
CONSUMERS 2005 ISUZU NPR SPED UP AS IF HIS FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR. ***NO ANSWER REQUIRED*** *TS THE CONSUMER WAS UNAWARE THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCELERATOR LINKAGE LIKE A CONVENTIONAL TRUCK UNTIL AFTER THE FACT. THE TRUCK WAS DEPENDENT ON AN ELECTRONIC SIGNAL FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN THE CAB TO A COMPUTER TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE COMPUTER AND ACCELERATOR CONTROL SHOULD BE REPLACED ON THE TRUCK, HOWEVER NO ONE WAS WILL WILLING TO FIX THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE AN ADMISSION OF GUILT THAT THERE WAS A ACTUALLY A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. *JB
