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.

Interior & seatsSteering
Filed Jul 13, 2025

The drivers seat is 3-6 inches to the right of the steering wheel causing hard steering/handling at times (curves). No accidents involved. Our first long drive with this vehicle. The issue does not sound like a big deal but the drivability is definitely a problem. In my opinion.

Manufacturer communications

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

TSB 26-04

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

It has been discovered the dash radio in-line fuse was installed with the incorrect fuse size. Production installed a 5A fuse when it should be a 15A fuse. The undersized fuse greatly reduces the surge allowance during normal operation. The wire for the dash radio is 14 gauge and is compatible with a 15A fuse.

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.
