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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PLEASURE WAY (NA). THE NOZZLE ON THE FUEL TANK WAS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO PUT FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE TANK WAS UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND THE FUEL WOULD BUILD UP IN THAT AREA AND NOT 'RUN OFF'. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TANK WAS DESIGNED IN THAT WAY BUT THE CONTACT FELT THAT IT WAS INCORRECT AS ONLY ONE INCH OF THE NOZZLE COULD FIT IN THE TANK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,500. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,500.
