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.

Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

OUTBOARD REAR SEATBELTS DO NOT EXTEND OR RETRACT. SO MY KIDS CANNOT RIDE IN IT. FUEL TANK ISSUE INVOLVES EXTREMELY HIGH VAPOR BUILDUP. WHEN I TAKE THE CAP OFF TO ADD FUEL, VAPOR PRESSURE IS SO BAD THAT IT HAS BLOWN THE CAP OUT OF MY HAND WHEN REMOVING IT. CAP HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A OEM REPLACEMENT WITH NO CHANGE IN PRESSURE. NO DIFFERENCE IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY OR DRIVEN FOR EXTENDED PERIODS IN EITHER CASE.
