What NHTSA owner complaints mean

These figures count complaints that vehicle owners and other members of the public have submitted to NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. NHTSA uses complaints, together with other data, to spot safety issues that may warrant an investigation and to check whether existing recalls go far enough.

  • They are reports, not findings. Each complaint is the submitter's own account. Its presence in the database does not mean NHTSA has confirmed a defect.
  • Counts are not defect rates. The data doesn't say how many vehicles were sold, so a raw count can't tell you what share of vehicles had a problem.
  • Popular models collect more complaints. A model sold in large numbers will usually gather more complaints than a rare one, simply because more people own it.
  • One complaint can name several components. Totals by component can therefore add up to more than the number of complaints.
  • Coverage starts in 1995. NHTSA's complaint file contains complaints received since January 1, 1995.

Use complaint patterns as a prompt for questions: whether a recall covers the issue, whether the vehicle you are considering has had the fix, and what a mechanic finds on inspection. For confirmed safety defects, see the recall list for this model.

Highlighted: the model year with the most campaigns.

  1. NHTSA campaign 96V187000

    Reported

    Steering › Linkages

    Model year 1996

    The steering linkage assemby contains a relay rod tapered-stud attachment nut that was not torqued to proper specifications.

    Consequence:
    The tapered stud can loosen and the driver would notice a lag in the responsiveness to steering wheel inputs. Eventually the relay rod stud can fracture resulting loss of steering control.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will remove the existing crimped nut and install a new nut torqued to specifications.

  2. NHTSA campaign 96V186000

    Reported

    Electrical System › Wiring › Fuses and Circuit Breakers

    Model year 1996

    Water intrusion into the kick panel areas in front of both the driver and passenger doors can cause a corrosion path between the battery feed and the electrical ground.

    Consequence:
    This condition can cause an electrical short leading to ignition and combusion of the plastics in the electrical components of the vehicle resulting in a vehicle fire.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the 25 amp circuit breakers with 25 amp fuses in the fuse block; remove a temporary paper fuse-block cover; install a plastic shield over the fuse block; replace and reorient the power door lock relay (if equipped); inspect the remote keyless entry module (if equipped) for signs of corrosion, replace if corroded, and reorient it; and apply additional body sealer in key areas.

  3. NHTSA campaign 94V227000

    Reported

    Equipment › Other › Labels

    Model year 1995

    Both the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) caution label and an engine start label were installed on the same side of the driver's sun visor. This does not comply with FMVSS No. 208, "occupant crash protection."

    Consequence:
    Consequence of non-compliance: operators could fail to notice and heed the warning labels.
    Remedy:
    A new label, with installation instructions, will be sent directly to owners. Owners will install the label or can have their dealer install the label for them.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.

What each recall field means
What each recall field means
FieldWhat it tells you
Campaign numberNHTSA's unique ID for the recall, such as 20V771000. Quote it to a dealer or when searching NHTSA's site.
ComponentThe system or part involved, for example air bags, brakes or electrical software.
SummaryWhat the defect or non-compliance is and which vehicles are covered.
ConsequenceThe safety risk if the problem isn't fixed.
RemedyWhat the manufacturer will do, such as a repair, replacement or software update, and whether it is free.
  • Some recalls carry an NHTSA consumer advisory, “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside”. Follow it until the repair is done.
  • A single campaign often covers several models or model years, so the same campaign number can appear in more than one list.
  • Recalls are shown as NHTSA publishes them. Very recent campaigns may take time to appear.
