Yugo Recalls, Complaints & Safety Data
NHTSA safety recalls, owner-reported complaints and investigations, by model and model year · 1985–1991
Overview
Our database holds no NHTSA owner-reported complaints for Yugo. Our database also holds 2 safety recall campaigns and 4 NHTSA investigations covering at least one Yugo model year.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.
Yugo models
Ordered by total owner-reported complaint volume, which is not a ranking of quality
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. Complaint totals count a report once for each model year it names; recall totals count a campaign once per model.
