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.

TWO TIRES ON OUR 5TH WHEEL RV LOST THEIR AIR. WE THOUGHT WE'D RUN OVER SOMETHING, BUT UPON INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RIMS HAD FAILED. A SPLIT IN ONE AND A HOLE IN THE OTHER. WE HAD ALL RIMS REPLACED AS WE WERE CONCERNED THAT IF 50% FAILED AT THE SAME TIME THE OTHERS MAY FAIL ALSO. WE HAVE KEPT ALL 5 OF THE ORIGINAL RIMS THAT CAME ON THIS TRAILER, IN CASE YOU NEED TO EXAMINE ANY/ALL OF THEM. APPROXIMATELY 5124 MILES HAVE BEEN DRIVEN ON THESE TIRES. NO DAMAGE OCCURRED FROM IMPACT OR OTHER CAUSES. THE EDGE OF THE RIMS APPEAR TO BE PERFECTLY ROUND WITH NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. *TR
