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.

2002: 3 campaigns2003: 3 campaigns2004: 1 campaign
Highlighted: the model years with the most campaigns.
  1. NHTSA campaign 04V290000

    Reported

    Structure › Motorcycle › Kickstand/Center Stand

    Model years 2002–2004

    On certain motorcycles, the main stand is attached to the frame with two brackets, nuts and bolts. The nuts are spot-welded to the brackets. If clearance exists between the nut and bracket, the spot welds may be broken when the bolt is torqued.

    Consequence:
    Over time, a bolt can loosen and fall out. The main stand could partially or completely detach from the frame, interfering with or damaging the rear wheel, and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash without warning. A completely detached stand falling on the roadway also creates a hazard for other vehicles.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will install new brackets, longer bolts and locknuts. Owner notification began on June 29, 2004. Owners should contact American Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

    Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

  2. NHTSA campaign 04V163000

    Reported

    Fuel System, Gasoline › Storage › Tank Assembly

    Model year 2003

    On certain scooters, some fuel tanks were improperly manufactured and do not meet material strength specifications.

    Consequence:
    Engine vibration or riding on bumpy roads could cause these tanks to crack and leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will perform an inspection procedure that identifies defective fuel tanks. If the fuel tank fails the inspection, the dealer will replace it with an updated fuel tank. Owner notification began during April 16, 2004. Owners should contact Honda at 1-866-784-1870.

    Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

  3. NHTSA campaign 03V513000

    Reported

    Steering › Steering Wheel/Handle Bar

    Model years 2002–2003

    On certain scooters, excessive clearance between the lower handlebar clamp and handlebar holder creates stress that can eventually cause the handlebar to loosen or detach.

    Consequence:
    This could result in a loss of steering control, which could lead to a crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will install two lower handlebar clamps, add washers between the lower clamps and handlebar holder, and install new locknuts. Owner notification began on December 11, 2003. Owners should contact Honda at 1-866-784-1870.

    Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

  4. NHTSA campaign 02V250000

    Reported

    Wheels

    Model year 2002

    On certain motorcycles, under certain riding conditions, such as continuously bumpy roads, the rear wheel could develop stress cracks where the wheel spokes attach to the hub.

    Consequence:
    The spokes will eventually fail, causing the wheel to collapse without warning.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the rear wheel, including a new tire. Owner notification is expected to begin during September 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Honda Motorcycle at 1-800-289-8226.

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.
