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.

THE TRUCK HAS REPEATEDLY SHUT DOWN WHILE OPERATING SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN OUT-OF-SERVICE FOR MONTHS. IT HAS BEEN RECALLED, BUT THE RECALL REPAIRS HAVE FAILED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DOWNTIME HAS BEEN BOTH COSTLY AND DANGEROUS, AS ONE CANNOT PREDICT WHEN THE TRUCK WILL SHUT DOWN. *TR

THIS TRUCK KICKS OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL, DOWN SHIFTS, AND SLOWS DOWN BY ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOURS ON INCLINE SUCH AS AN OVERPASS. IT HAS ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES BY 18-WHEELERS. IT ALSO HAS KICKED OUT OF GEAR GOING OVER RAIL ROAD TRACKS AT LOW SPEED AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. IT KICKED OUT OF GEAR COMING TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ROLLED BACKWARDS. WHEN IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR WE WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. ALL 4 OF MY DRIVERS NOW REFUSE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AS THEY ARE AFRAID OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
