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.

Filed Jul 1, 2020

THE BACKUP CAMERA SYSTEM DOES NOT COME ON WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE OR WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING IN REVERSE CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD AND BREACHING COMPLIANCE RULE FMVSS 111 (SPECIFICALLY SECTION 5.5.6 OF FMVSS, WHICH PERTAINS TO REAR VISIBILITY). THERE IS AN ACTIVE MASSIVE RECALL ALREADY INITIATED FOR MODEL YEARS 2018 THROUGH 2020 BUT IN LIGHT OF THE SAME EXACT ISSUE EXISTING IN MY 2016 ROLLS-ROYCE WRAITH, I ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER EXPANDING THE RECALL TO INCLUDE 2016 ROLLS-ROYCE WRAITH MODELS AS THE SAFETY HAZARD IS PRESENT AS WELL. SMALL CHILDREN COULD BE HIT WHILE GOING IN REVERSE IF THE REARVIEW BACKUP CAMERA IS MALFUNCTIONING.

Supporting Evidence for Oil Leaks: In order for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to continuously improve product quality, visual evidence is now required to support all claims for repairs to components due to oil leakage concerns.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
