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 Aug 26, 2003
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.

Fire reported

WAS TESTING THE CAMPER FOR SPRING IN MY BACKYARD, FLIPPED THE REFRIGERATOR OVER TO PROPANE, SMELLED SMOKE A COUPLE MINUTES LATER, LOOK OUTSIDE AND SEE FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE VENT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRAILER. VERY EASILY COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE INSIDE THE CAMPER AND/OR ASLEEP. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE IN THE CAMPER WITH A GARDEN HOSE THAT WAS LUCKILY RIGHT BY. *TR
