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.

DT: THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FOR THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAD THE CONSUMER'S MOTHER SIT IN THE SEAT. THEY ADJUSTED THE SEAT FOR HER AND THE SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE, NOW IT IS STUCK IN THAT ONE SPOT AND IT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO GO ANY FARTHER BACK. THE REASON FOR THE RECALL WAS THAT THE SEAT WOULD SLOWLY MOVE BACKWARDS WHILE SITTING IN IT. AFTER THE DEALER TRIED TO FIX THE SEAT THEY STATED THAT, THAT WAS THE BEST THEY COULD DO. THE CONSUMER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE HE COULD NOT MANUEVER GOOD ENOUGH TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.*AK *SB *NM

IN THE SPRING OF 2002, I BOUGHT MY COLLEGE-AGED DAUGHTER A 1995 SATURN THAT HAD ON IT 4 NEW FIRESTONE FR 680 P175/70 R14 TIRES. THE TIRES NOW HAVE ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON THEM. WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGED THIS PAST WEEKEND, THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT TO ME THAT ONE OF THE TIRES WAS DEFECTIVE. IT HAD, HE SAID A BROKEN INTERIOR BELT THAT HAD WEAKENED THE TIRE TO THE POINT THAT IT COULD HAVE BLOWN AT ANY TIME. [THE TIRE HAD NO TREAD LEFT IN SPOTS AND ALSO HAD A BULGE.] I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED AND AM ALSO COMPLAINING TO FIRESTONE. BUT I WANTED TO REGISTER WITH YOU THE FACT THAT AT LEAST ONE TYPE OF THIS TYPE HAD A DEFECT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THANK YOU.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

STRUCTURE:BODY

ON SOME 1991 - 2000 SEDANS, WAGONS AND COUPES, A WHISTLE TYPE NOISE IS HEARD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TT

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.

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.
