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.

Filed Aug 6, 2008

I DROVE FROM MARYLAND TO NORTH CAROLINA USING MY FLATBED TRAILER WHICH HAS CARLISLE ST205/75015 SURE TRAIL ST TIRES. THE TREAD ON ALL FOUR TIRES WORE OFF THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF EACH TIRE. I DROVE MAINLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD NO ISSUES WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER SEEN WEAR ON A TIRE OF THIS TYPE. I CALL CARLISLE TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL AND THEY EXPLAINED NO. I WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES FOR MY TRAILER. I PURCHASED THIS TRAILER MANY YEARS AGO BUT NEVER DROVE IT LONG DISTANCE. THIS TRAILER MAKE IS TOP BRAND AND IT WAS NOT A SELECTION ON THE LAST PAGE OF THIS COMPLAINT FORM. *TR

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.
