I HAVE MANUFACTURED AND CERTIFIED (PER FMVSS-218) MY OWN MOTORCYCLE SAFETY HELMET AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL OF THAT HELMET. I STILL GET STOPPED AND CITED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR A VIOLATION OF THE HELMET LAW. THEY STATE I WAS WEARING A "NON-DOT APPROVED" HELMET. DOES DOT APPROVE HELMETS? IF NOT, THEN PLEASE PROVIDE ME WITH DOCUMENTATION THAT I CAN PROVIDE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT SO THEY WILL STOP CITING ME. *TR

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
