Steyr Recalls, Complaints & Safety Data
NHTSA safety recalls, owner-reported complaints and investigations, by model and model year · 1977–1979
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. This total counts a complaint once for each Steyr model year it names.
0
Safety recallsDistinct NHTSA recall campaigns covering at least one Steyr model year. One campaign can cover several models and many model years; it is counted once here.
2
