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 Jul 20, 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.

Fuel system
Filed Mar 9, 2007

WHILE TRAVELING IN MY MOTOR HOME WITH A CUMMINS ISL-400 DIESEL ENGINE A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE FEEDING THE COMMON RAIL INJECTOR SYSTEM CRACKED AND LEAKED FUEL THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT INCLUDING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. WHEN REPAIRED AT THE CUMMINS SERVICE CENTER IN EL CAJON, CA, THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ISL ENGINE AND THAT THERE WAS A "FIX" TO THE PROBLEM. AFTER REPLACING THE CRACKED FUEL LINE THEY ALSO INSTALLED A SUPPORT BRACKET FOR THE FUEL LIME THAT SHOULD PREVENT VIBRATIONS THUS ELIMINATING CRACKING OF THE LINE. MY QUESTION IS, IF THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED TO INSTALL THE SUPPORT BRACKET TO PREVENT CRACKING AND FUEL LEAKS WHICH COULD LEAD TO POSSIBLE FIRES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT??? I WAS REALLY SURPRISED THAT THERE WASN'T A FIRE WITH ALL THE FUEL THAT LEAKED OVER THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM. *JB

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.
