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 May 20, 2002
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.

THE WIPER ARM ATTACHMENT TO THE DRIVE SHAFTS CAME LOOSE CAUSING THE WIPER SYSTEM ON THE DRIVER SIDE TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON THIS, (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 02V142000) BUT I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY PREVOST THAT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY COACH NUMBER, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD AS IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

IT IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TIRES FOR THE MOTORCOACHES. THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE WITH LARGE BUBBLE WHEN THEY WERE FILLED WITH AIR. WE HAD NO INCIDENT BECAUSE WE DID NOT USE THEM AFTER WE FOUND OUT THAT PROBLEM. WE CONTACTED THE RETAILER I & E TIRES AT 611 SMITH STREET, BROOKLYN, NY 11231 AND THE MANUFACTURER CONTINENTAL TIRE COMPANY TO REPORT THE PROBLEMS BUT WE DID NOT GET ANY ANSWER FROM BOTH PARTY. THERE WERE OVER 10 DEFECTIVE BUS TIRES WE CANNOT USE BUT EITHER THE RETAILER NOR MANUFACTURER WOULD LIKE TO RESPONSE FOR IT. *TR

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.
