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.

Exterior lighting
Filed Aug 27, 2026

The Rinder manufactured amber lenses on all four indicator lights severely cracked during removal and reinstallation. The lenses must be rotated off the indicator base to change the light bulb. It is extremely difficult to remove the lens without an excessive amount of force. The rim of the lens that mates to the body of the indicator becomes so damaged during the removal and reinstallation process that the lens will not stay attached unless taped or glued. The lens should be designed to remove and reinstall easily and securely since bulb maintenance is a critical safety issue. This issue is noted by many Bonneville owners on various internet forums.
