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.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

WHEELS

YAMAHA MOTOCYCLE: FRONT WHEEL NOT SPINNING FREELY: ANYTIME THE FRONT WHEEL IS BEING INSTALLED, ATTENTION MUST BE PAID TO PROPER PLACEMENT OF BRAKE PADS IN BRAKE CALIPER. IF ONE OR BOTH BRAKE PADS BECOME DISLODGED FROM CALIPER, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO BE REINSTALLED INCORRECTLY, YET STILL BE ABLE TO INSTALL THE WHEEL. IF THIS OCCURS, THE FRONT WHEEL WILL NOT SPIN FREELY. NO MODEL YEARS LISTED. *PE

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
