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.

I STEPPED OUT OF MY 2001 TETON I WAS ON THE SECOND OF THREE STEPS WHEN THEY GAVE WAY AND I FELL TO THE GROUND. I LOOKED BACK AT THE STEPS AND SAW THAT THE CAST TYPE METAL THAT KWICKEE COMPANY THAT MADE THE STEPS WITH HAD BROKEN IN HALF. I CALLED AN ATTORNEY ONLY TO FIND OUT YOU HAD TO HAVE BROKEN SOMETHING OR HAD TO HAVE SURGERY FOR THEM TO REPRESENT YOU. I HAD TO PAY $235 OF OVER $500 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT IT IS A RESULT OF POOR WORKMANSHIP IN THE CHOICE OF METALS USED TO BUILD THE STEPS. I AM STILL IN A LOT OF PAIN FROM MY FALL. *TR

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.
