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.

Seat belts
Filed Oct 12, 2026

I am a hazardous-materials tanker driver for Pilot Company / Pilot Flying J, based at [XXX]. This complaint concerns a new replacement orange seatbelt installed by my employer in truck unit 50757, Tennessee plate [XXX]. During normal driving, the belt unexpectedly locks or tightens against my neck and pins me back, restricting movement and creating unsafe driving conditions. I have experienced similar problems in other company trucks, and colleagues report comparable problems affecting their necks. I have repeatedly documented defects in pre-trip and post-trip reports and notified management and safety. Yard lead [XXX] said the belts were fine and defect entries were being dismissed. I have not been informed of a satisfactory repair. The concern is unexpected locking during normal driving. I understand seatbelt use is required and want a functioning restraint. Exact belt manufacturer, model, part number, installation date are not yet confirmed. My records and recordings document the reported problem. In truck 50757, this occurs daily since approximately the beginning of 2026 and continues to the present. XXXis an approximate onset date, not a confirmed installation or first-incident date. Prior neck and dental injuries occurred in a different truck, unit 50750, which is no longer at the yard; its VIN and plate are unavailable.
