Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

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.
0
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.
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Fuel Delivery Module Before replacing the fuel module for DTCs P0461 and P062A and other not start, long crank, fuel gauge accuracy and drivability issues, the technician should disconnect the electrical connector at the pump and perform a visual inspection of the connector for and bent, spread, or pushed out terminals. Repair any issues found. Reconnect the plug and perform a push pull push to ensure the connector is fully installed. Then perform 3 keys cycles and listen to hear if the fuel pump is operational. If the fuel pump is heard that indicates that everything is operating correctly. If the pump is heard replacement is not necessary, any replacement will function in the same way.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

If the Driver/Passenger Seat Adjsuter Switch is inoperable, seat back will not move or seat moves on its own: 1.Which function is not operating properly? *Forward/Backward *Recline Forward *Recline Backward *Height Adjustment *Multiple Functions 2.Is the concern constant or Intermittent? 3.If intermittent, how often does it occur? Daily, Weekly, Randomly 4.Does the seat move on its own without pressing any switch? Yes / No 5.Does the issue occur only while driving, only at key-on, or while the vehicle is parked? 6.Has the concern occurred after the vehicle has been sitting for an extended period (overnight or several hours)? 7.Does pressing the switch multiple times temporarily restore operation? 8.Have any other seat functions or electrical features been affected at the same time? 9.Has the seat adjuster switch or seat assembly been previously repaired or replaced? Before replacing the seat adjuster switch, verify power, ground, connector engagement, wiring integrity, and inspect for blown fuses or damaged harnesses. If no external issues are found and the concern is verified, an intermittent internal switch failure should be considered.

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.
