Tmc Recalls, Complaints & Safety Data

NHTSA safety recalls, owner-reported complaints and investigations, by model and model year · 1975–2011

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. This total counts a complaint once for each Tmc model year it names.
1
Safety recallsDistinct NHTSA recall campaigns covering at least one Tmc model year. One campaign can cover several models and many model years; it is counted once here.
5
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.

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. Complaint totals count a report once for each model year it names; recall totals count a campaign once per model.

79V188000MC8

SERVICE BRAKES, AIRTHE INVOLVED VEHICLES HAVE THE FOLLOWING NON-COMPLIANCES: THE LOW AIR WARNING SIGNAL MAY NOT ACTIVATE UNTIL THE SERVICE RESERVOIR PRESSURE IS BELOW 60 PSI. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE RELEASE TIME MAY EXCEED 0.55 SECONDS AT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL, WHICH CONSTITUTES A NON-COMPLIANCE TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS".

78V008000MC8

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLYTHE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "MODULATED EMERGENCY BRAKING". THE "O" RINGS IN THE SHUTTLE VALVE MAY DEVELOP SLIGHT LEAKS IN COLD WEATHER. IN ADDITION, NEOPRENE WASHERS USED ON THESE "O" RINGS MAY EVENTUALLY EXPAND OR PUCKER IN COLD CLIMATES, MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR THE SHUTTLE PISTON TO BECOME TRAPPED BY THE INNER-CIRCUMFERENCES OF THE WASHERS. THIS WOULD FORCE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO THE "ON" POSITION AND WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM BEING RELEASED.
