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 Dec 7, 1995
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, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

Dec 7, 1995
876 units potentially affected
The defect: TWO TOP MOUNTING STRAPS SECURE THE FUEL TANK TO THE FRAME. BREAKAGE HAS OCCURRED WHERE THE STRAP BOLTS TO THE FRAME RAIL.
The risk: IF THE STRAP BREAKS, THE FUEL TANK CAN MOVE AND RUB AGAINST THE FLOOR OF THE BODY AND THE FUEL LINES CAN BE DAMAGED.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A STRONGER STRAP REPLACING THE UPPER STRAP. A FRAME CROSSMEMBER/CHANNEL, DESIGNED TO BOLT ONTO THE FRAME LOWER FLANGES DIRECTLY BEHIND THE FUEL TANK, WILL BE INSTALLED WHEN THE CHASSIS DESIGN DID NOT PLACE A FRAME CROSSMEMBER WITHIN 2" MEASURED FROM THE REAR OF THE FUEL TANK.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:MOUNTING

Apr 11, 1994
842 units potentially affected
The defect: AN "L" SHAPED BRACKET WELDED TO THE FUEL TANK SUFFERS FROM FATIGUE FAILURE OF THE STRAP WELD TO THE FUEL TANK. WHEN ONE STRAP FAILS, THE TANK WILL ALLOW THE TANK TO MOVE WILL THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING INCREASED FATIGUE TO OTHER TANK ATTACHMENT WELDS.
The risk: IF SEVERAL TANK STRAP WELDS FAIL BEFORE CORRECTIVE ACTION CAN BE PERFORMED, THE FUEL TANK CAN SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSING A ROAD HAZARD.
The remedy: SPRINGS AT THE FOUR LOWER STRAP MOUNT CONNECTIONS TO THE LOWER FRAME HAVE BEEN POSITIONED TO COMPENSATE FOR FRAME MOVEMENT. THESE SPRINGS WILL PROVIDE CONSISTENT STRAP FORCE AROUND THE TANK REGARDLESS OF FRAME MOVEMENT.
