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.

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

Outcomes stated in those reports

  • reports mentioning a crash 2

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.

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 298 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.
