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.

NOTHING WENT WRONG YET!! BUT THE DIODE AT THE CONVERTER WILL CAUSE A SLOW BURN EFFECT THAT CAN START A FIRE ON THE 120 VOLT LINE WHEN CONVERTING TOO 12 VOLTAGE THE DIODE SHOULD NEVER BE USED LIKE THIS THE DIODE SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO COVERT FROM 120 VOLT TO 12 VOLT AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE POWER OR WATTAGE LIKE AT AN IGNITOR THE POWER/WATTAGE AT THE CONVERTER IS TO HIGH YOU MUST ISOLATE THE 120 VOLT SYSTEM FROM THE DC SYSTEM AND RUN SEPARATE THEN USE MULTIPLE DIODES TO MAKE THE POWER/WATTAGE FOR THE SOURCE THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE FIRES IN TRAILERS, SO PLEASE RECALL ALL TRAILERS THAT HAVE THESE 120 VOLT TO 12 VOLT CONVERTERS. I'M TELLING YOU THE HEAT FACTOR IS TO HIGH/HOT!!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BATTERIES DON'T GET DISCONNECTED WHEN USING THE 120 VOLT HOOK UP AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ON DISCONNECTING EACH SYSTEM IT WAS STATIONARY. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT A LOW VOLTAGE DISCONNECT SWITCH ON ONE POLE DOESN'T SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE COMMON STILL DRAWS TO THE 120 VOLT SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES AN OVER CURRENT THROUGH THE GROUND AND CAUSES A FIRE. CALL ME AT [XXX] I HAVE A SOLUTION!!!*DT REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)*JB
