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 May 20, 2010

I OWN A 2007 SINGLE AXLE TRAILER. IT HAS CALIFORNIA LICENSE PLATE [XXX]. I BOUGHT THE TRAILER NEW IN 2007. THE TAILGATE IS VERY HEAVY. THE NEIGHBOR'S 5 YEAR OLD BOY UNLATCHED THE TAILGATE AND FORTUNATELY WAS NOT HURT WHEN THE TAILGATE FELL. I THINK THAT THESE TRAILERS SHOULD HAVE SOME MEANS OF LOCKING SO THAT THE OWNERS CAN SECURE THE TAILGATE. BY THE WAY, YOUR CHOICE OF VEHICLE TRAILERS DID NOT INCLUDE DARGO, SO I CHOSE XL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *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.
