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.

Latest May 19, 2006
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.

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER-SIDE PASSIVE MOTORIZED SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY. DEALER REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT BUCKLE THAT CONNECTS TO THE ASSEMBLY. REQUESTED $330 FOR REPAIR. SINCE SYSTEM IS NOT FULLY OPERATIVE WITH DEFECTIVE BUCKLE, BELIEVE THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT THE VEHICLE SAFETY REGULATIONS. IT VIOLATES THE SPIRIT, IF NOT THE LETTER, OF THE SAFETY REGULATIONS. AM CONCERNED THAT INOPERATIVE BUCKLE COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN EVENT OF CRASH, AS IT WOULD MAKE EXIT FROM VEHICLE DIFFICULT. MFG. SHOULD REPLACE FAULTY BUCKLE AS PART OF LIFETIME WARRANTY ON RESTRAINT SYSTEM.

HEAD PREVIOUSLY (8/13/01) REPORTED TO YOU THE REFUSAL OF THE DEALER/MFG. TO REPLACE AN INOPERATIVE SEAT BELT BUCKLE THAT IS PART OF THE PASSIVE MOTORIZED SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY . REQUESTED $330 TO REPAIR/REPLACE. BY COINCIDENCE, THE BUCKLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ASSEMBLY FAILED IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY ONLY HOURS AFTER INITIAL REPORT FILED. WHILE BOTH BUCKLES CAN BE CONNECTED, THEY CANNOT EASILYT BE REMOVED, AND REPRESENT A DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. EXITING THE VEHICLE WOULD BE MORE DIFFICULT. BELIEVE THAT REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF BUCKLES COULD BE COVERED AS PART OF LIFETIME WARRANTY OF VEHICLE RESTRAINT SYSTEM. REFUSAL TO COVER AS WARRANTY ITEM IS AGAINST SPIRIT AND INTENT OF VEHICLE SAFETY REGULATIONS.

BELIEVE THIS IS ATTEMPT BY MFG TO CIRCUMVENT SPIRIT OF NOT THE LETTER OF RESTRAINT SYSTEM REGS, AS SEAT BELT SYSTEM IS ONLY AS RELIABLE AS WEAKEST COMPONENT, IN THIS CASE A NON-FUNCTIONING BUCKLE.

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.
