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.

What owners report

Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded

Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.

Safety recalls

No recalls in our database for this model year

That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.

FUEL PUMP STOPS WORKING CAUSING UNIT TO TURN OFF WHEN ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURES. STALLING AND NOT TURNING ON. THIS SITUATION HAPPENS AFTER 20 MINS OF RIDING. IT CAN TURN OFF WHILE RIDING OR AT AN INTERSECTION/STOP SIGN WITH NO WARNING. AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS THE UNIT WILL EVENTUALLY RESTART. NO UPDATED PART HAS BEEN MADE YET. THE COMPANY CONTINUES TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WITH THE SAME OLD PART NUMBER?!?! PLEASE HELP US HAVE A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE MACHINE TO RIDE. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IF NOT ADDRESSED SOON. *TR
