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.

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL.WHILE DRIVING EAST ON 84, I GOT A CALL FROM ANOTHER DRIVER TELLING ME MY RIGHT HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. AT THE TIME I WAS ONLY 2 MILES ROM THE TRUCK STOP IN MIDDLETOWN, NY. I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY A BLOWN HEADLIGHT. SO I FIGURED I WOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE TO THE TRUCK STOP AND CHANGE IT THERE. SUDDENLY THE RIGHT SIDE OF TRUCK BURST INTO FLAMES, PULLED OVER, AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER. CONSUMER USED THE ENTIRE CANISTER, AND FINALLY GOT THE FIRE OUT. CONSUMER SUSTAINED 2ND AND 3RD DEGREE BURNS TO MY RIGHT HAND WHILE TRYING TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. I WAS TAKEN TO MIDDLETOWN HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. I HAD NO WARNING BEFORE THE FIRE BROKE OUT, I DID NOT SMELL ANYTHING BEFORE THE FIRE AND NO FUSES BLEW UNTIL THE FIRE WAS ALREADY STARTED, AND THEN THE ONLY FUSE THAT BLEW OUT WAS IN THE TRAILER LIGHTS. THE WHOLE TIME I WAS FIGHTING THE FIRE, AND COULD SEE THE WIRES ARCING OUT IN THE HEADLIGHT. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE DONE TO MY TRUCK. *AK

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.
