Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.

THE AIR BAGS FOR THE SUSPENSION FAIL TO INFLATE. AND IF THEY DO INFLATE THEY GO DOWN WITHIN 1 MINUTE OF INFLATING THEM. ALSO, THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON, THOUGH THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY AIR BAGS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS THAT I AM NOT AWARE OF, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,,, JASON LAGOWSKI

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.
Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
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.
