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.

WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM WORK I WENT TO USE THE BRAKES, THERE WERE NO BRAKES AS THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE I FOUND A METAL BRAKE LINE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ASSEMBLED SO AS IT MADE DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE METAL FUEL PRESSURE RETURN LINE. THE TWO LINES SUBSEQUENTLY WORE A GROOVE IN EACH OTHER WITH THE BRAKE LINE WEARING THROUGH THUS LETTING ALL THE APPLIED BRAKING PRESSURE TO ESCAPE FROM THE WORN HOLE IN THE LINE. I WAS AN ASE CERTIIFIED AUTO TECHNICIAN FOR MANY YEARS IN MY LIFE AND IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL DIAGNOSIS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED THIS WAY FROM THE FACTORY. THE FUEL PRESSURE RETURN LINE SHOWS SEVERE WEAR AND COULD PROVE TO BE A FIRE HAZARD IF IT RUPTURES. *AK

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.
