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.

Tires & wheels
Filed Mar 5, 2007

THE VEHICLE, A 1991 SAFARI SERENGETI (M3450), WAS RECENTLY PARKED WITH A REDUCED LOAD ON THE DRIVE AXLE (BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT LEVELING JACK PARTIALLY EXTENDED). WHILE PERFORMING OTHER SERVICE WORK, A SIGNIFICANT (SOFTBALL-SIZED) BULGE WAS NOTICED ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE INNER RIGHT REAR TIRE ON THE RV. TIRES (ALL 6) HAVE EVEN TREAD WEAR, LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THEM, AND WERE MANUFACTURED WITH DATE CODE 4903--THEY SHOW NO SIGNS OF DRY-ROT/CRACKING/WEATHER EXPOSURE. IF THE VEHICLE WERE DRIVEN WITHOUT THIS FAILURE BEING NOTICED, A BLOWOUT WOULD BE EXPECTED IN SHORT ORDER, WITH ASSOCIATED LOSS OF CONTROL POSSIBILITIES AND OVERLOADING OF THE REMAINING RIGHT REAR TIRE. *JB
