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.
0
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.
0
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.

Fuel system
Filed Apr 9, 2019

FUEL TANK FRACTURE AND LEAK. A CRACK IN THE STAMPED STEEL OF THE UPPER HALF OF THE FUEL TANK WHERE THREE FACES ARE BENT. CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE ORIGINALLY INSTALLED TANK, AND TWO SUBSEQUENT, DEALER-SUPPLIED FUEL TANKS OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THE LEAK IS SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW SIGNIFICANT DRIPPING/DRAINING OF FUEL WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, INCLUDING PUDDLING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE CRACK, THE FUEL SPILLS ONTO THE DRIVESHAFT (DIRECTLY OPPOSITE THE MUFFLER), AS WELL AS WICKING FUEL DOWN THE PARKING BREAK CABLE TOWARDS THE BACK. INQUIRY ONLINE REVEALS SEVERAL OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITH IDENTICAL TANK FRACTURES/CRACKS DEVELOPING.

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.
