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 Mar 22, 2007
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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 KEYSTONE SPRINTER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE APPROXIMATELY TEN MONTHS AGO, BUT HE LOST THE LETTER. HE FOUND THE LETTER AND CALLED DOMETIC, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT HE NEEDED A NEW REFRIGERATOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING AS STATED IN THE RECALL. THE KEYSTONE SPRINTER IS A PULL BEHIND TRAILER; THEREFORE, THERE WAS NO VIN OR FAILURE MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN.

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.
