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.
1
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.

ONE THING THAT I FEEL THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESS IS THE USE AND SHAPE OF THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR. AS IT STATES ON THE MIRROR, THINGS MAY BE CLOSER THAT THEY LOOK, IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS OF SOME OF THE "SO CALLED ROAD RAGE". WHEN THE DRIVER LOOKS IN THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR, THEY SEE THAT HAVE CLEARED WHAT THEY ARE PASSING, HOWEVER, IT IS CLOSER AND REALLY UNSAFE TO RETURN TO THE LANE OF TRAVEL. I AND A OVER-THE-ROAD TRUCK DRIVER, WITH OVER THIRTY-ONE (31) YEARS EXPENSE. I HAVE BEEN IN FORTY-FOUR (44) OF THE LOWER FORTY-EIGHT (48) STATES AND CANADA. I FEEL THAT WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE WAY THE MIRROR WAS DEIGNED , NOT CONVEX. THAT WAY A DRIVER SEES THE REAL PICTURE. I ALSO KNOW THAT EVERYONE IS IN A HURRY TO GO NOWHERE, TALK ON THE PHONE, READ A MAP, BOOK, PUT ON MAKE UP AND WHAT EVER THEY TRY TO DO. SOMETIMES, I THINK SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE A DEATH WISH. I DO NOT KNOW IF ANY OF YOU DO MUCH DRIVING, IF NOT, GET OUT OF YOUR OFFICE AND FIND SOMEONE, NOT A FRIGHT HAULER, SOMEONE THAT RUNS COAST TO COAST AND RIDE WITH HIM OR HER, I THINK YOU WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT OUT LOOK ON LIFE, OVER THE ROAD. THANK FOR YOU TIME [XXX]. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
