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 Sep 5, 2007
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.

Filed May 15, 2005

WE WERE TRAVELING ON RTE 95 IN MAINE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD "WIND" SOUND. WE EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND NOTED THE WINDSHIELD AT THE TOP CENTER WAS CAVING IN. WE SUPPORTED THE WINDSHIELD FROM BEHIND WITH PAPER TOWEL ROLL'S AND THE BACK OF THE UPPER COMPARTMENT'S AND CONTINUED TO COHACKIE NEW YORK TO WHERE WE HAD PURCHASED THE RV. THEY MADE A TEMPORARY REPAIR TO GET US TO FLORIDA WHERE WE WERE HEADING TO MEET A DELIVERY TRUCK AT OUR NEW HOME THERE. ALONG THE TRIP, THE TEMPORARY REPAIR HAD FAILED, AND WE HAD RESORTED TO HOLDING THE WINDSHIELD IN-PLACE WITH ROLL'S OF PAPER TOWELS. WE BROUGHT THE RV TO A DEALER IN FORT MYERS FLA. AND THEY MADE THERE OWN "DESIGN" TO REPAIR THE WINDSHIELD. THIS REPAIR HAS WORKED AND IS STILL HOLDING. WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH AT LEAST ONE OTHER REXHALL THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND A REXHALL SERVICEMAN SAID IT WAS NOT A UNCOMMON PROBLEM. HAD WE NOT TAKEN THE AFOREMENTIONED ACTION'S AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON I BELIEVE A CASTROPHOBIC ACCIDENT MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

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.
