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.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN FLORIDA, ON ITS MAIDEN VOYAGE, THE ENTIRE TRAILER HITCH ASSEMBLY FELL FROM THE BODY OF THE RV. WE WERE TOWING A TRAILER WITH OUR RACE CAR IN IT AT THE TIME. SOME GOOD SAMARITANS FROM THE FLORIDA STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT WERE THERE TO HELP US AND, UPON INSPECTION, WE FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE HITCH WAS HELD TOGETHER BY ONLY 2 BOLTS. THE OTHER HOLES IN THE HITCH ASSEMBLY DID NOT ALIGN WITH THE HOLES FOR THE BOLTS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RV BODY. NEW HOLES HAD TO BE DRILLED ON THE SPOT IN ORDER TO SAFELY SECURE THE HITCH ASSEMBLY. WHEN WE ALERTED THE OWNERS AT NEXUS THEY TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD CHECK OTHER NEW RV'S IN THE PLANT, BUT, JUDGING FROM THE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED FROM NEXUS, I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT THIS WAS DONE. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS KILLED OR CRITICALLY INJURED AND ARE WORRIED THAT THERE MAY BE OTHER NEXUS RV'S ON THE ROAD WITH THE IMPROPER HITCH ASSEMBLY.

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.
