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.

MY VEHICLE PURCHASED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO HAS DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD THAT DISPLAYS NUMEROUS SCRATCHES AT NIGHT ONLY. VISION IS DISTORTED CAUSING HEADACHES WHEN ONCOMING VEHICLES LIGHTS HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MY LEXUS DEALER AFTER DRIVING AT NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR UNSUCCESSFUL REPAIR THREE TIMES TO DATE. MY LOANER VEHICLE, WHICH IS A 2017, HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO SAT IN THREE OTHER NX200'S AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. DEALERSHIP WON'T FIX UNTIL LEXUS ACKNOWLEDGES ISSUE AND COMES OUT WITH A FIX FOR THE ISSUE. *TR

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.
