What the records are about, by source

  • Safety recalls (170 records, model years 1995–2016) are most frequently classified under: powertrain (transmission & drivetrain), electrical system and brakes.

  • Manufacturer communications (8,943 records, model years 1995–2017) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, engine and electrical system.
  • Investigations (68 records, model years 1995–2008) are most frequently classified under: brakes, body & structure and doors, latches & locks.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle

These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.

A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
