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.

AIRBAG LIGHTS COMING ON IN JAGUAR XK8 2006 BETWEEN JANUARY 2009 AND MAY 2009. WE TOOK THE CAR IN 4 TIMES FOR AIRBAG LIGHTS COMING ON (EACH TIME "REPAIRED"). EACH TIME THE CONNECTIONS WERE "CORRECTED". THE FIRST TIME REPLACED A BLOWN FUSE; THE SECOND TIME THE SYSTEM WAS NOT COMMUNICATING AND REPLACED A POWER FUSE; THE THIRD TIME PARTS WERE ORDERED AND THEN LATER REPLACED BLOWN FUSE AND THE SEAT HARNESS. (THE CAR ONLY HAD ONLY 18,814 MILES ON IT WHEN THE LIGHT PROBLEMS BEGAN.) ON MAY 9, 2009, THE DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG HARNESS WAS REPLACED. IN MARCH 2010, THE AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. ANOTHER HARNESS WAS ORDERED. ON MAY 9, 2009, THE DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ON, BUT THE CAR WAS IN PARK. AFTER MUCH INVESTIGATION, THE HARNESS WAS AGAIN REPLACED (AND THE DRIVER SEAT WAS REPAIRED). *TR

A customer may report "Hood Open" message displays on IP with hood closed.

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.
