A manufacturer communication is service guidance issued to dealers. It is not a safety recall, and its existence does not mean this vehicle has the described condition.

Investigations

NHTSA Investigation US

No matching records were found in the currently integrated dataset. This does not mean none exist for this vehicle — always check the official source using the VIN.

An investigation records that a regulator reviewed a suspected defect. It is not itself a finding of defect and not a recall.

Canada Recalls

Transport Canada Recall CA

No matching records were found in the currently integrated dataset. This does not mean none exist for this vehicle — always check the official source using the VIN.

Canadian campaigns are recorded separately from US campaigns and do not imply one another.

Consumer Complaints

NHTSA Complaint US

34 complaint records in the dataset for this vehicle and year.

Outcomes stated in those reports

  • reports mentioning a crash 6
  • reported injuries 10
  • reported fatalities 1

Outcomes as stated by the person who filed the report. They are not verified, not adjudicated, and carry no exposure denominator, so they cannot be turned into a rate.

By system

  • Air bags (restraint system)17 (31.5%)
  • Seat belts6 (11.1%)
  • Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)5 (9.3%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 1999.
  • Body & structure5 (9.3%)
  • Suspension4 (7.4%)
  • Brakes2 (3.7%)
  • Equipment & accessories2 (3.7%)
  • Speed control & accelerator2 (3.7%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 1996–1997.

Other / uncategorized: 4 classifications (7.4%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

A single report can name several systems, so these figures overlap and must not be added together — their sum is larger than the report total above.

A further 205 complaint records exist for this vehicle where the source stated no model year. They are not counted above and appear on no year page.

These are owner-submitted allegations, not confirmed defects. Counts are record counts in the dataset. No exposure denominator exists, so no failure rate or reliability score can be derived from them.
