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.

SOME THING SHOULD BE DONE WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 JAGUAR XKR CONVERTIBLE ONE NIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH THE TOP DOWN, THE HYDRAULIC FLUID FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP STARTED LEAKING FROM THE CENTER LOCK DOWN MECHANISM ON THE WINDSHIELD FRAME. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING FROM THE OUTSIDE. SO I WIPED MY FACE WITH MY HAND AND HEN FELT AN OILY SUBSTANCE ALL OVER. I STARTED TO PAID CLOSER ATTENTION TO THE WINDSHIELD AND DID NOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE GLASS. I SLOWED THE CAR IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. SINCE IT WAS AT NIGHT, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN WHERE THE OILY SUBSTANCE WAS COMING FROM. I PLANNED ON GETTING OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT. BUT BEFORE I COULD REACH THE NEXT EXIT MY EYES STARTED BURNING BECAUSE OF THE OVERSPRAY OF THE OILY SUBSTANCE. I QUICKLY PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER WITH MY EYES STINGING AND BARELY OPEN. AS I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK I FELT A DROP HIT THE BACK OF MY HAND THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THE HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKING FROM THE WINDSHIELD FRAME. THE COVER FOR THE LOCK MECHANISM/ LIGHT ASSEMBLY, AS WE WERE DRIVING AT SPEED THE OIL TURNED INTO A FINE MIST AND WAS SPRAYING ALL OVER ME AND ALL OVER THE CAR .ONCE THE CAR WAS STOPPED IT POOLED ON THE COVER UNTIL IT DRIPPED ONTO THE CENTER CONSOLE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SEVERE PROBLEM AS IT IS A FLAMMABLE AND TOXIC LIQUID THAT I WAS COVERED IN; VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A JAGUAR DEALERSHIP IN TIMONIUM MD. WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THE PLASTIC HYDRAULIC LINE HAD RUPTURED, I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. AND AFTER MONTH THEY DIDN'T FEEL THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND I SHOULD PAID THE $1,500.00 FOR IT REPAIR AND THAT WASN'T ANY REPAIR TO INTERIOR THAT I STILL NEED TO HAVE TAKEN CARE OF . I CANT IMAGE WHY THEY WOULD USE PLASTIC HYDRAULIC(A FLAMMABLE LIQUID ' THANK GOD I DON'T SMOKE ) LINES INSIDE THE CAR , BUT METAL HYDRAULIC LINES UNDER THE HOOD ??? *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.
