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

By system

  • Lights1 (50.0%)
  • Visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors)1 (50.0%)

A further 12 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.
