Outcomes stated in those reports
- reports mentioning a crash 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
- Brakes2 (50.0%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 2000–2004.
- Air bags (restraint system)1 (25.0%)
- Body & structure1 (25.0%)
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 71 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.
