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.

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.

TL* - THE CONTACT CALLED REGARDING A NORCOLD REFRIGERATOR IN THE 1999 EUROVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS REFUSING TO ADVISE HIM IF THE RECALL WAS DONE. THE MANUFACTURER SENT HIM THE PART, A SWIVEL NUT/PRESSURE TAP COMPONENT, BUT THAT THE PART WAS LOST BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT WILLING TO SEND THE PART AGAIN BECAUSE THEY STATED THAT THEY SENT THE PART OUT TO TWO OR THREE DEALERS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED SEVERAL RECALL LETTERS SO HEWAS UNSURE WHETHER THE WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED. *AK
